Parental Guidance
We will discuss some Christmas traditions of Italy including the Nativity, Santa, and Befana (a good witch) from this PowerPoint: https://www.twinkl.com/resource/t-t-2548813-christmas-in-italy-powerpoint Although the Nativity is mentioned, I am mentioning this through a secular, historical perspective that this is a part of Italy's traditions of what they believe and how they celebrate through decorations, dinner, desserts, and more.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from North Carolina State University
I believe that taking foreign language classes opens the doors to many opportunities. In high school, I took Spanish, and at university, I took up through Intermediate level in Italian. I now give students the opportunity to learn Italian language by making it fun and engaging through my teaching style, print offs, and Quizlets games. I have been teaching basic through intermediate Italian courses for over 3 years involving basic conversation skills, grammar (present indicative, passato prossimo, conjugating verbs with pronouns, adjectives reflecting the correct the-- as there are 7 the's in Italian, and more), as well as vocabulary and fairytale reading classes to make the language to come to life in a fun way.Reviews
