Many children find the study of ancient Egypt fascinating. In this course, children will learn about key facts from Egyptian history, in a fun, interactive way. We will use and create maps, look at artifacts, video clips, and books, to piece together a picture of what life was like in ancient Egypt. The children receive a variety of materials and project ideas between webinar sessions, and are encouraged to use these resources to explore the topic further. Students will have numerous opportunities for hands on learning, (which requires a higher degree of parental involvement) outside of the webinar, and will be assigned a variety of projects, including writing their name in hieroglyphics, making Egyptian style jewelry, baking flat bread whilst learning about farming and grains, building a model shaduf to understand how to transport water to crops, and making a 3D model of the Nile River. Week One: Introductions & What do I Know About Egypt? Week Two : Where is Egypt? Locating Egypt and the Nile River Week Three: Animals of Egypt Week Four: Pyramids & Tombs - Preparing for the Afterlife Week Five: Craftsmen - Daily Life in Ancient Egypt Week Six: Hatshepsut, the Woman Pharaoh Week Seven: A King and Queen Who Were Different Week Eight: King Tut - The Boy King Students will have the ability to suggest topics for future classes, once we have established a core foundation.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 20 years, as a middle school and high school teacher, a college adjunct, and children's museum educator.
I am passionate about bringing meaningful content to students. As an educator, I am constantly seeking new ways to incorporate best practices and draw from a wide body of pedagogy, including the self-guided approach of Maria Montessori, the artistic lessons and story-based approach of holistic models, the multiple intelligence theory of Howard Gardner, the high-quality literature of Charlotte Mason, and the community of learners approach of Reggio Emilia.
My undergraduate studies led me to a dual degree in Spanish and Economics, where I focused on developing economies in Latin America, studying in Costa Rica and Ecuador. I later received a Fulbright scholarship and spent a year studying at the University of Stuttgart, and completing an internship in Bonn, focused on Spanish and Latin American markets. After returning to the US, I worked as a college assistant, middle school and high school teacher, and museum educator.
My graduate work focused on Social Studies, with my Master's Thesis centering on bringing the arts into core academics, drawing from my experiences with holistic models of education.
I am a homeschool mom to three, with one already graduated. My oldest, began her schooling journey at home, using a holistic approach to education, with an abundance of art, nature, and literature, centering largely around the principles of Charlotte Mason and other early 20th century educational reformers. She graduated with full scholarships to top tier universities. My second child began his journey with public school before transitioning to Montessori, and finally, to homeschooling. As an asynchronous learner, homeschooling is a perfect fit for him. My youngest has also attended both Montessori and public school, and is now homeschooling as well. Whenever possible, we use place based education with the motto, "the world is our classroom."
Fun fact - I am a polyglot and have had a keen interest in learning languages from a young age.
