A Local History Curriculum
MuseumSRV developed this curriculum in collaboration with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and the Danville, San Ramon and Tassajara public libraries. The curriculum includes thirteen chapters that provide teacher and student pages, vocabulary, suggested reading, classroom activities, plays and field trip
Our One Room School Program enhances the curriculum. To schedule your classroom, contact the museum.
A Passport to the San Ramon Valley provides an opportunity for students to do local history research supported by their parents. For more information, contact the Museum.
For Fourth Grade Teachers
First Peoples Program is a two hour, in person, hands on and interactive program held at the museum each fall. Fourth graders get a unique opportunity to explore the lives of the valley’s earliest inhabitants, the Miwok, through our program, a field trip especially adapted to meet the 4th grade standard for history and social science.
To schedule your classroom for this program, please contact MuseumSRV.
