Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 4
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. 

Class starts with introductions. Learners are encouraged to share something that they already know about Ancient Egypt or something they are curious about.  

This class covers popular topics within the history of Egypt.  We begin class by looking at the geography of Egypt, the Nile River and what modern day Cairo looks like. Then we travel back in time to look at life along the Nile river thousands of years ago. During class, learners are introduced to ancient Egyptian architecture, hieroglyphics, artifacts uncovered during archaeological expeditions, King Tut and Howard Carter, the Giza Pyramids and more! Class centers around a Google slide presentation filled with photographs, maps, illustrations, video clips and more.

I am a fun and flexible teacher who tries to get to know each of her students. Learners are encouraged to ask questions and share thoughts. This class is designed for students with beginning knowledge of Ancient Egyptian history.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in History from University of Delaware
Hello! 

My name is Stephanie and I am so happy to be an educator here on Outschool. I have experience teaching learners of all ages - preschool all the way up through graduate school. My educational background includes bachelor degrees in Art Conservation and Anthropology and a minor in Fine Art. I also have a Master’s Degree in Urban Affairs and Public Policy with a concentration in Historic Preservation. I genuinely love all things material culture, art, history and architecture. 

I am also a mom of three children. I love trips to the library, museums, historic sites and parks. I enjoy travel, cold lemonade, reading books, taking walks and shopping locally. My house is filled with lots of love and chaos. 

I believe that education should be a dynamic and personalized experience. I view classrooms as places where curiosity is celebrated and where learning is an active, collaborative endeavor. I strive to foster a learning environment where students are encouraged to pursue their passions, ask questions, and think critically. I believe that hands-on learning not only enhances retention but also ignites a genuine enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge. Through open discussions and exploration of topics that resonate with students' interests, I aim to empower them to become lifelong learners who are not just consumers of knowledge but creators of it. Ultimately, I aspire to inspire a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom and into every facet of students' lives.

Come have fun and learn with me!
