Welcome to puppy pawty, where we discuss dogs in history and enjoy a social snack time! In this class, we'll talk about a famous dog or collection of dogs throughout history and their accomplishments while enjoying a drink and a snack together. But we won't just be discussing dogs - canine friends are more than welcome to join in the class and learn about their ancestors who went to space, worked in government, or sailed around the world. This class is designed to be a fun history course and social club. Each lesson is told as a story - nobody is ever too old to be read a story, especially one about history! These stories take approximately 15 minutes of class time, leaving the end of class for socializing. I encourage learners to unmute themselves and share freely with their peers during our social time; it can get a bit hectic, but that's part of the fun! 2022 Schedule: Week of June 6 - Seaman, Lewis and Clark's Traveler Week of June 13 - Sergeant Stubby, a World War I Hero Week of June 20 - Peps the Music Critic Week of June 27 - First Dog to the United States of America Week of July 11 - Buddy, the First Seeing Eye Dog Week of July 18 - Laika the Astrodog Weel of July 25 - Postal Worker Owney Week of August 1 - Jofi, Dr. Freud's Therapy Dog Week of August 8 - Rin Tin Tin, a Silent Film Actor Week of August 29 - Mayor Bosco of Sunol, California Week of September 5 - Queen Elizabeth II's Corgis Week of September 12 - Dr. Balto the Sleddog Week of September 19 - Coast Guardsman Sinbad Week of September 26 - Terry the 1930s Actress Week of October 3 - Trackr the Tracker Week of October 10 - Soldier Chips Week of October 17 - No Class (Fall Break) Week of October 24 - Sun Yat-Sen, a Titanic Survivor Week of October 31 - Swansea Jack Week of November 14 - Naki'o the Bionic Dog Week of November 21 - No Class (Fall Break) Week of December 5 - Mancs the Rescue Dog Week of December 12 - Bród the Showstopping Royal 2023 Schedule: Week of Jan. 9 - Pal and Friends Week of Jan. 16 - Nemo the Vietnam Veteran Week of Feb. 6 - Bobbie and his Path Home Week of Feb. 13 - Marine Lex and the Rocket Week of Feb. 20 - Pertias, Alexander the Great's Guard Dog Week of Feb. 27 - Boo the World's Cutest Dog Week of March 6 - Barry, a Swiss Rescuer Week of March 13 - Spring Break Week of March 20- Spring Break Week of March 27 - Pavlov's Dogs Week of April 3 - King Tut the Politician Week of April 10 - Smoky the War Therapy Dog Week of April 17 - Etzel von Oeringen, Hollywood's Strongheart

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Emeliann and I am a university senior majoring in secondary education in the social sciences, with a minor in history. My specialties lie in American and European history, as well as American government and politics; my interests extend into unconventional (aka "fun") history, art history, and art analysis.
I aim to engage and interest students through a variety of classes that integrate learning and socializing. I have worked with learners, ages 6 to 18, in a variety of professional and volunteer positions, and I continue to work with 11 to 18-year-olds in my academic studies. There is nothing I find more fulfilling than seeing the light of understanding bloom within a student's mind.
To best encourage student learning, I plan on utilizing student-centered and led discussions; I've found that such discussions empower students to take control of their own learning and feel confident in their critical and creative thinking, teamwork, and socialization skills. These discussions also help in developing independence and a sense of educational accountability, vital skills for students of all ages. As a student myself, I recognize the value of time and desire to organize classes that fit a variety of schedules, for both parents and learners. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, learning is in the hands of the student.
I highly value the work of parents who are active members of their child(ren)'s learning, and I cannot wait to be a part of their educational and academic careers!Reviews
