In this ongoing social class, we will play trivia games while learning about different topics. The students are encouraged to bring some accurate facts to class with them for sharing for future trivia nights. Many of the things we will learn will be great educational facts. Week 1 - state trivia Week 2 - land animal trivia Week 3 - food trivia Week 4 - country trivia Week 5 - ocean animal trivia Week 6 - space trivia Week 7 - geography trivia Week 8 - weather trivia This class is designed for students to enter the class at any point in the ongoing status because each week will be learning different facts. Students will receive information prior to class on which subject matter we will be learning about. Each student can then research information they find interesting and/or important and bring to class to discuss after the trivia game has been played. Each student will have the ability to speak in this open forum classroom as it is geared more for social connection. This is not solely a lecture type class. This class will be interactive as each student has the ability to discover information about the topic or subject matter and share the information with the other classmates. In fact, it is encouraged for each student to bring a discovery to class. When each student is allowed a voice, in addition to the teacher, the wealth of information can be great. In addition, if a student has an idea about who they want to learn about, the teacher will take this under advisement for a future class. This will be an exciting adventure. I like to be a hands-on-to-learning teacher. This class is not about the teacher. The students are the focus and will guide the course. The teacher is just the facilitator. For this class, there is no prior knowledge required to attend this class.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their trivia knowledge about various topics.

Hello. My name is Teacher Tanya.
Greetings,
I am Teacher Tanya, a dedicated educator with a rich personal and professional background.
In my personal life, I fulfill roles as a devoted wife, a mother to nine children, a grandmother to sixteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Teaching, reading, and traveling in my RV are my passions.
Central to my philosophy is the belief that continuous learning is essential for personal growth. I advocate for acquiring new knowledge daily to enrich our lives. As an educator, I employ the 5 E's approach—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—while also emphasizing the importance of "Extend" in teaching.
Regarding my education and experience, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development and have pursued extensive coursework towards a Master's Degree in Education: Curriculum and Instruction. Additionally, I possess a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Call me crazy, but I am currently working on a Doctorate is Education: Organizational Leadership.
With fifteen years of experience owning and operating state-licensed and accredited preschool, childcare, and school-age centers, I have a solid foundation in education. I have, also, served as a substitute teacher for middle and high school students, including fulfilling long-term positions in core academic subjects.
Having dedicated over 25 years to working with children in both classroom settings and extracurricular activities, I have taught a diverse range of subjects such as English, Reading, History, Math, Science, and ESL, to students with diverse abilities.
I appreciate your time in reviewing my profile and consider it an honor. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet your child and your family.
Thank you.
