My students liked this reading on the California Gold Rush. Most of them were able to do this independently!

My coworker was out and I was looking for something that would effectively teach the gold rush for her while she couldn’t be at school- This was such a great resource! It was easy to understand for the kids, gave a lot of important information, and (best of all for me) easy to use!
