From patron saint to conversation hearts... why in the world do we celebrate Valentine's day? In this one-time class, we'll take a deep dive into the origins of this lovely holiday. We'll work our way from the very beginning to the modern day. We will look at the person behind the name and the holiday that came from him. As we move forward in time, we will look at some of the symbolism that is seen in modern Valentine's day. It's not just chocolate goodies and lovey dovey feelings. Join us to find out how we got to the holiday we know and love.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Ellen Annas. I'm so excited to meet you! I have a Bachelor of Arts in History and Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I also have a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the same institution. I am a high school social studies teacher and curriculum specialist at an arts magnet high school. I taught for 3 years at an International Baccalaureate school and aim to help my students become globally-minded, inquiring, and positive communicators. I love to make learning engaging and fun! I currently teach Civics and Economics & American History. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy baking and catching up on the latest books and movies. In my downtime, I love spending time with my dog and my family I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
