In this one-time class, students will learn about fun Christmas traditions. We will look at the latest Christmas traditions trends and how they have impacted our holiday celebrations. Traditions that will be covered will include the ugly Christmas sweater and the Christmas pickle. We will also explore some fun holiday traditions that are done in different states. Christmas traditions in this class will remain secular in focus. Students are welcome to share what Christmas traditions they do with their families throughout the lesson as we do a "Share a Tradition Challenge." Parents should remain off-camera providing supervision for students in the class as students share traditions. Students will also be encouraged to draw an ugly Christmas sweater as we take a look at some of the ugliest Christmas sweaters. At the end of class, students will be challenged to create a family tradition they would like to start with their family. During this class, a slide presentation will be shown and students will play an interactive game. I look forward to exploring fun holiday traditions with your child in class during this holiday season.

Hello parents and guardians, my name is Gayla Tidwell. Welcome to my classroom. I look forward to meeting your child soon. In my classroom, your child will explore various topics and have a lot of fun. Each class will include grammar, math, geography, history, and science to maximize the educational experience for your child. I enjoy planning lessons that incorporate different subject areas. I believe this allows each course to be full of variety and knowledge about the subject matter. I bring a lot of energy to my classroom, which results in exciting and engaging lessons. I also strive to build a strong rapport with my students ensuring they are comfortable and eager to participate. I am confident your child will have an enjoyable learning experience in my classroom.
I have 18 years of teaching experience. Over those 18 years, I have taught 4th and 5th-grade language arts, preschool, and ESL (English as a Second Language) online. I have also homeschooled my four children for the past four years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education P-4, an additional license 4-8 in English, and a Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership.
I am married and have four children. I enjoy creating things, swimming, traveling, and spending time with my family. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do. I always enjoy creating lessons that are fun and engaging. I look forward to teaching your child in my classroom soon.
