Welcome to Ms. Razani's American History class. 

A little bit about me:

I was born and raised in Iran. Marriage brought me to the U.S in 1981. I have a daughter and a son that are now all grown up adults. I am blessed with a 7 years old grandson as well. I am a world traveler and have great appreciation for other cultures. Hopefully my love for U.S. History will be contagious! I also enjoy cooking and working out.
