Time of Remembrance Program - EGUSD

Time of Remembrance Workshops are offered to all teachers who cover U.S. history, WWII, and the U.S. Constitution. Fifth grade teachers are urged to attend to support the Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Education approved study of the removal and internment of the Japanese Americans in California as part of the 5th grade study of the Constitution.

Beginning in 1984, the EGUSD Board of Education has annually approved a resolution recommending the study of the internment and the U.S. Constitution. The district provides each school with a full classroom set of books (A Journey to Topaz by Yoshiko Uchida) and materials. In addition, each 5th grade student is provided with a ticket to attend the Time of Remembrance program held at the California Museum of History, Women, and the Arts during January and February.

The Time of Remembrance workshop offers teachers information about the removal and internment of the Japanese American communities during WWII and the loss of Constitutional rights. The workshop will tie these topics to the California State History and Social Science framework and expected academic standards. Teachers will receive a study guide, lessons and resources to teach this unit of study. This year teachers will receive instruction on access to technology resources available through the district. This is a great opportunity for all teachers with an interest in these topics of history to learn about resources available .

Registration information for the November 4 Time of Remembrance workshop is posted to the Curriculum and Professional Learning website.

The video segments, along with curricular connections and lessons, will be posted to the Interview Archives page.
