Let's learn about Hanukkah! This class includes teacher presentation and learner participation. Learners are invited to ask questions and to share what they know about Hanukkah throughout the class meeting. In this secular class I begin with a historical description of the festival of lights, Hanukkah. After this historical overview, I present how Hanukkah is celebrated in modern times. My discussion of a modern Hanukkah celebration does not discuss religious precepts or beliefs but describes Hanukkah traditions and the unique foods that are served and eaten on Hanukkah, including the playing of a spinning top game (dreidel) and the eating of potato pancakes (latkes). To end the class, I invite learner questions. I look forward to teaching about this joyous festival and hope you will join me to learn about Hanukkah!

Welcome to my classroom!
For 30 years I've helped students appreciate literature, develop their rhetorical and creative writing skills, and better organize and complete tasks. A central goal of my teaching & coaching is empowering students with strategies they can make use of on their own, and in each class I encourage students to participate fully in our sessions together by contributing to class discussions and asking questions.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Education, a Master's Degree in Literature, and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. My current class offerings include literature studies, book clubs, creative writing and formal essay writing classes, and Executive Function coaching.
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family and traveling! :)Reviews
