How often do you get the chance to choose your own name? If you love ancient Egypt and have always been mystified by the ancients' names, you've chosen the right class! Besides selecting your ancient Egyptian name, we'll talk about: • Why would an ancient Egyptian be so happy if you chose his or her name? • The difference between royal names (like those of a pharaoh or queen) and common names. • Why did some pharaohs have more than one name? • When did someone name their children? • Why did people rename themselves? • The different ways the ancient Egyptians displayed their names. Afterward, we'll view many ancient Egyptian names - both male and female. You'll finally select one, based on how you like its meaning, pronunciation or the way it looks in hieroglyphics. How I Teach: - Classes with only four students. - Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations, maps and photos of ancient artwork. - Animated lecture and discussion. - The showing of genuine antiquities from my collection. - The playing of a short video related to the subject. I interact a lot with learners, encouraging kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs. I love it when kids laugh. After the class, I message parents/caretakers to tell them how their student did, and I include extra files for their interest. CLASS PRICE includes (in addition to the scheduled class): 1. Welcome message to both the student and enroller. 2. Quiz (actually, a learning tool) as a pre-lesson activity. 3. Personalized post-class message to the student and enroller, detailing how the learner did in class and any recommendations. 4. Availability to answer a student's questions (by message) after class. 💥 For more scheduled classes, please scroll down to “Show Alternative Times.” Copyright ©, Ilene Springer, 2024 All rights reserved.

Parental Guidance
There is nothing parents have to monitor, although we will discuss the magic involved with words and names that the ancient Egyptians believed in. There may be some kids who are sensitive to the notion that magic might have been associated with certain names.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and, in June, I will receive my Diploma in Egyptology for a one-year program from Oxford College in England. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.
As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian object into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or even Native American studies.
I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon for a class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn. And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
