We all love a reason to celebrate but we have different ways to celebrate and New Year's isn't any different. Come join us as we travel all over the world to discover ways to celebrate a new start. We will talk about different traditions, find countries we are talking about on a map, and discuss what traditions we have or would like to try. We will start with Thai New Year which is celebrated in April with a huge splash. Why do they eat grapes in Spain? Or dumplings in China? What is Tet and when and where is it celebrated? Nowruz means "New Day" and celebrated in March. What can you find on a Nowruz Haft-Seen table? Enkutatash means "gift of Jewels" and celebrated in Ethiopia in September. We will also cover in the United States. Why do people eat pork, black-eyed peas, and greens on New Year's Day? Come join us for the celebration of new beginnings.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings from North Carolina! I am a homeschool mom of two and a teacher of many. I have a bachelor’s degree with a major in Accounting and a minor in Child Development with over thirty years of teaching experience. I have taught from age three to adult in a variety of subjects. I have taught in the classroom and at educational conferences. I taught in a preschool for ten years and then taught a broad range of subjects for the last twelve years. For the past five years, I have been teaching online where I have taught ESL, AP Art History, High School Economics, History and Social Studies (all grade levels), Elementary Science, Middle and High School Geography, High School Public Speaking, and High School US Government. I especially have loved teaching and exposing students to traditions and customs around the world and about their very own through genealogy classes. I am passionate that education should instill a love of learning first and foremost.
Join me on an exciting adventure as we travel around the United States in my class – The Amazing Race- USA Edition. Or learn what it takes to become a millionaire in Who Wants to Be Millionaire? which is a financial literacy class for middle and high school students. I get to share my love of art, music, and poetry in my Charlotte Mason classes.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, and scrapbooking. My children and I have visited all one hundred counties in my state, all fifty states in the United States, and many countries. We have had many adventures. I hope you will join me for my next adventure in the classroom.
Most of my classes depend on learner participation and discussion, please let me know ahead of time if you would prefer me to NOT encourage your student to do so.
If you have 4 to 8 students, who want to take a class together, please contact me, and I will try to set that up for you. There is something for everyone!
Please email me with questions. Happy Adventuring!Reviews
