This class is a self-directed class that allows the learner to oversee their learning. It is a great introduction to these holidays and seasonal topics. It gives learners an informational overview from a secular perspective explaining the meaning, history, traditions, and celebrations associated with the holiday or seasonal topic. The LINKtivities® are created with public school classrooms in mind. They look at the different holidays through a secular lens. This class does not dive deep into any culture, group, religion, or political beliefs. It is strictly intended as an informational overview only. Here are some things learners will explore (using a secular lens): -the meaning of the chosen holiday/seasonal topic. -the history of the chosen holiday/seasonal topic. -some traditions and celebrations that go along with the chosen holiday/seasonal topic.
I am a certified teacher who loves to make learning fun for students. We will learn by doing and having fun! I have experienced many of these holiday traditions with friends and family as I have lived and traveled all over the world. My lived experiences can help add to the class as learners ask questions.

They look at the different holidays through a secular lens. This class does not dive deep into any culture, group, religion, or political beliefs.

For example, the focus is on spending time with family and friends, the traditional decorations, the traditional foods, community, etc. All the holidays are viewed using secular ideas and materials. *This is a one-week, learner-directed SELF-PACED class. Learners can only choose one holiday or seasonal topic to explore in each class. If they would like to explore more than one, they are welcome to register for the class again. I encourage them to explore them all! *LINKtivity® Interactive Learning Guide is a fun and interactive multimedia learning guide that will keep learners engaged and motivated with kid-friendly videos, audio clips, graphics, photographs, and more that put them in control of their learning process. Each LINKtivity® has audio support to read the text to students so they can focus on learning. There are also interactive activities built in so students can monitor their own understanding. No account is required to access the LINKtivity®. The LINKtivity® DOES NOT ask for any information from the student. *Note: This is a SELF-PACED class. There will be NO live meetings. We will do everything using videos, pictures, and posts in the classroom. *REFUND POLICY: Once the material has been sent to the learner, there will be NO refunds issued. If your learner changes their mind and wants to choose a different holiday or seasonal topic, they are welcome to register for the class again. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
