A curriculum theme that I found interesting while learning how to navigate the California Standards website was the Science Standards for Kindergartners. It was interesting to learn that children need to learn about measuring weather with weather vanes, themometers.

I liked the Cesar Chavez curriculum for fifth grade that met standard 5.8. I like how they used it to connect older information about colonization with more recent events such as the immigration and settlement patterns of mexicans. It helps make the information more relevent to us today.

The curriculum I found interesting of Cesar E. Chavez was the second grade theme on "People who make a difference". Students at this age group can learn from there past ancestry and how they contributed to farm working throughout history. Also students can learn about ideal geographic locations to grow different types of foods and also grow their own harvest. Most of all students will learn about a very important figure of history; for his contribution to improve agricultural farm workers lives.

Standards:
--2.2 Students demonstrate map skills by describing the absolute and reative locations of people, places, and environments.
--2.2.4 Compare and contrast basic land use in urban, suburban, and rural environments in California.
--2.5 Students understand the importance of individual action and character and explain how heroes from long ago and the recent past have made a difference in others' lives

The Curriculum Theme I found interesting was for Grade 5. It's requirements were that students trace colonization, immigration and settlement patterns of the American people from 1789 - mid 1800s.

The Cesar Chavez Curriculum for 7-9 is broad and diverse. Taking students from 500-1789 CE(Common Era)can be a fun and enriching experience. The Mayan, Incan, and Aztec cultures through the age of enlightenment to touch upon the ideas in the US Decalration of Independence seems quite broad. However, with some interactive activities such as cultural pot luck, readers' theatre, and other projects, this period could really come alive for the students while still meeting curriculum requirements.

I found it interesting the way Cesar E. Chavezis applied to, World History and Geography: Ancient Civilization, for a sixth grade curriculum. As religious ideas have inspired and influenced the lives and actions of men and women, so did Chavez.

I like the curriculum that gives extra support for English learners.It appropriates grade level seven.It meets standard 7.9

The Cesar Chavez Curriculum that I found interesting was for kindergarte. This curriculum teachs the students the positive civic behavior of Cesar Chaves by learning how Cesar Chavez fight in a positive way without violence.This meets the standars of being a good citizen.

Hello Future Teachers,

My model curriculum is Cesar E. Chavez: An American Hero for a third grade class. I picked this one becuase I am in a third grad and believe students should have a full understanding of this Amiercan Hero.

I found this theme interesting because it does more than explain how he made the world a better place. It disucuss his personal experiences that shaped him into the person he is. I think it is good for students to understand that a hero comes in all different shapes and sizes not only in cartoons. Also, this cirriculum nicely protrays an issue today in the world. In third grade they are old enough to learn some of the problems today such as hard conditions for farm workers.

This topic is approprecate for third grades becuase they have started to learn about genre. I have seen this my classroom placement. During this curriculum they can read a biography of Ceasar Chavez. Then they can discuss how it is a biography. Also, this curriculum fits the standard 3.4.6 for third grade. They need to learn about an American hero who took ricks to secure our freedoms.

I found the second grade curriculum theme of "People Who Make a Difference" interesting because it gets the students to think about those who supply the goods and services that are necessary for every day life. This meets the standard of development of map skills by describing the absolute and relative locations of people, places, and environment, as well as an understanding of basic economic concepts.

I found the lessons on "World History and Geography: Medival Society" very interesting. Not only do they shift some of the the focus from medival Europe to Latin America(between 500-1789),the lessons bring in Chavez's ancestral heritage and his historical connections to the region. The connection is also made between this and his political leanings and some of the movements he chose to support. A bigger than normal picture is presented.

The curriculum than i found most interesting was when teachers explain why Cesar Chavez is an American hero.This helps kindergartens appreciated a farmworker that would do good thigs and got to be recongnize by the people he help.

The curriculum I found for seventh grade students is that students do tons of comparing and contrasting of past civilizations of modern day cultures and, discovering about the fall of one nation ,but in return learn about the growth of another. The Seventh grade curriculum has alot to about knowing our past as human beings.

I thought that the standards found in the Califonia State and Cesar E. Chavez sections were very similar for Second grade History and Social Sciences. The students are required to know a lot of important things (some basic level information and some other higher level lessons). I learned that there are a lot of standards for each subject and it seems like a challange to fit all of them into the curriculum.

The Cesar Chavez curriculum that I found interesting was for kindergarteners-teaching them about how life was in the earlier times with Cesar's family. I like that they can talk freely about what their own famiily does in their home, and compare it to Cesar's home life. The standards met are being able to state what Cesar learned from everybody in his family as well as stating the way of life in those times.
