Have you ever thought about the twelve days of Christmas? Why are there twelve days recognized and where did all of the animals, types of people and things like gold rings come from to make it happen? Well, this multi-day course will give students an opportunity to learn about Class #1: introduction of each item...partridge, turtle doves, swans, geese, calling birds, french hens, gold rings, pipers drummers, lords, ladies, and maids in an interactive way. Class #2: students will share their own 12 days of Christmas in a creative way. As students learn about each one of the twelve days and their own unique information and background tied to Christmas, they will become so inspired thatI’ll they will want to create their own twelve days of Christmas with the help of the instructor. In order for this class super interactive and creative, students will be asked to create their own school-appropriate twelve days of Christmas item listing and explain why they chose them for their own twelve days of Christmas. Creating their own presentation to share with others will be a great way for them to express their excitement for the upcoming holiday. To help with the creative projects, students will listen to a musical rendition of the traditional "Twelve Days of Christmas", being challenged to create their own songs. Working with the teacher as a guide on the side, students will gain feedback and support as they research and develop their own Christmas list and song lyrics. Students will have an opportunity to share their their completed "Twelve Days of Christmas" artwork, song lyrics, and original twelve days of Christmas with others as a share their recorded presentations via Outschool.

Hello everyone! I am so glad you decided to learn a little bit about me. My teaching philosophy focuses on giving students an opportunity to learn so they can thrive, not merely survive. I believe each student has talents if we allow them to learn using their unique intelligences. I develop content that aligns with real-world situations and connects across content areas to paint a beautiful tapestry of how learning can be fun and engaging!
I am a lifelong educator with 25+ years experience in K-12 education and post-secondary education (public, private, online, homeschool) as a teacher, coach, administrator, undergraduate and graduate-level college professor, published author, researcher/presenter, and most importantly, mom. I hold a bachelors degree in English-Secondary Education, a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership.
As the parent of two amazing children, (now almost adults), we love the world outdoors! We are blessed to have our own farm where we bred and raised Appaloosa horses for several years and spent several years showing English. We now successfully compete in western events, including reining, reined cowhorse, and ranch riding. I love reading and writing...and well, anything where I can keep learning!
