Welcome to Mr. Kash's History Page
at MrKash.com. I am a history teacher at Madison Middle School in North Hollywood,
California.
I have designed
this
website
to be used by history students and teachers interested in exploring the
Internet as part of their studies. Student projects, Internet assignments,
and California
Standards Test Prep for the 8th grade history have also been included. The
site is frequently updated to highlight the celebrations and events of the
month. I hope you
enjoy yourself and learn something. Feel free to email me with comments and
