Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
This is the first in a series of year-long History classes, specifically covering Ancient History. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Ancient History for 1st to 5th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for at home use. I teach in a Socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts instead of imparting my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text and complete the student activity pages. The first meeting each week will focus on the textbook work, and we will work on a timeline, complete map work, and finish any coloring pages in the second meeting. 

Our general class outline:
Week 1: History is Cool
Week 2: Humans Start Hunting and Gathering
Week 3: Mesopotamia Starts Farming
Week 4: Egypt Gets United
Week 5: Sumer Starts Inventing
Week 6: The Indus Valley Builds Cities
Week 7:  Caral Plays Music
Week 8: Egypt Prepares for the Afterlife
Week 9: Egypt Builds Pyramids
Week 10: Britain Builds Megaliths
Week 11: Yu Fights the River
Week 12: Austronesia Sets Sail
Week 13: Aboriginals Fish in Australia
Week 14: Babylon Makes Laws

Students will have the option to read aloud or follow along, at their comfort level. This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class.

Learning Goals

Students will gain an understanding of Ancient History. They will learn where civilizations started, and create a timeline to understand how many civilizations came into being simultaneously.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This is a secular history course, and as such, uses the year markers CE and BCE.
Supply List

External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
The student textbook and activity guide will be provided to each student.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Care, and I am a teacher by trade. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent children - specifically those with ADHD, Anxiety, ASD, and gifted diagnoses. I love reading, knitting, Final Fantasy XIV, and Bluey! 

I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education earned from Northern Illinois University. My teaching certificate is now out of date, as I have relocated to Canada. I have a wonderful spouse, and we have a thirteen year old child. Our household is body-positive, rainbow-themed, and neurodiverse. I enjoy spending time with kids, and talking with them to discover new ideas together. 

In my classroom, learners and their families have the right to:
- Be treated with dignity and respect regardless of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, neurology, marital status, or sexual orientation
- A safe and healthy environment
- Be treated as your learner’s most important people
- Receive timely communication about the learner’s temperament, behavior, compliments and concerns

I am not perfect, but I do my best to try to help everyone feel included and accepted for who they are at all times!
