Class Experience

In this one-time class, we will learn all about the ancient Greek god of the underworld, Hades. I will teach about Hades using a Canva slide presentation with lots of pictures. Students will have chances to ask questions and discuss throughout class. We will begin by studying Hades origin story a long with his famous siblings Zeus and Poseidon. Students will learn about the underworld, and how that shaped the ancient Greek's burial rituals and understanding of the afterlife. Students will learn the stories about Persephone and Hades, and how the ancient Greeks believed this story was the origin of the four seasons. We will discuss the treatment of Persephone - a much debated story. Was she treated fairly? 
Hades is one of the most fascinating figures in Greek mythology. I hope you will join me in class!

Hi! My name is Lydia. I am a teacher and a librarian. I love learning, and I think learning should be fun. I like to laugh, sing, and play with little kids, and I love exploring strange and exciting topics with older learners. 

Throughout the course of my career, I have worked with kids of all ages - from children as young as three all the way up to high school seniors.I have worked as a classroom teacher, preschool teacher, school librarian, nanny, camp counselor, and volleyball coach. I have more than ten years experience working with kids. I have a Bachelor's degree in English. I also have a Master's degree in Library and Informational Sciences specializing in school library media. When I completed my Master's program, I receiving a teaching certificate in the state of Virginia.

Before my career in education, I worked as a newspaper reporter. I still love reading a daily newspaper, and I am very passionate about current events. 

I also love to cook and bake, and I'm really good at it. I even have my own wheat grinder and make my own bread. It's not all healthy, though. I can make some of the best tasting ice cream in the world! Check out some of my cooking classes, and I'll teach you all you need to know! 

Please come join me in one of my classes! I'd love to see you soon!
