I offer two classes with Josefina. This particular class is designed for the younger learner (6-8). I keep the class small which makes learning and teaching more flexible. During our live session, once a week, students will engage in a discussion of Josefina as well as doing activities to support learning of the historical time period. Students will be exposed to different reading strategies and will learn thru creative activities such as games, poems, experiments, and crafts (I will have a material list posted for each week’s activities). Students can expect to read each American Girl doll book in the 6 series beginning with Meet Josefina, in addition to completing writing assignments and/or projects at home. This class is a great supplement to your regular study of U.S. history.
Vocabulary exploration, discussion, map work, video clips, journal writes, crafts, writing, games, etc.

Often several colors are used. They are commonly found in Mexican and Mexican American communities, among both Indigenous and Catholic peoples. Ojos de Dios are common in the Pueblos of New Mexico. Often they reflect a confidence in all-seeing Providence. The spiritual eye of the Ojos de Dios is thought by some believers to have the power to see and understand things unknown to the physical eye.[1] During Spanish colonial times in New Mexico, from the 16th to the 19th centuries, Ojos de Dios (God's Eye) were placed where people worked, or where they walked along a trail (Major, 2012)" -two sticks (popsicle or any other stick like objects such as chopsticks) -yarn -hot glue gun or strong tape

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
California Certificado de Docencia en Educación elemental
I have been teaching 20 plus years in various capacities. I have taught k-12 here in the U.S. as well as in Central America. I homeschool my own children with experiential learning including extensive travel to different countries, immersing in different cultures, as an integral part of our curriculum. I also have taught for National University's Education department for the past 15 years. I teach in the teaching credential program. Among the many classes that I have taught, The Diverse Classroom and Multicultural Education are among them.
In my background as an educator and in developing social studies curriculum, I have collaborated with many educators on how to cover these history topics. I have also attended workshops and trainings in the experiences of marginalized groups that have provided me with an understanding of these groups experiences and the historical context for American discriminatory action and thoughts. I am here to provide a historical outlook and provide insight into what was happening in history, but am not here to provide an in depth look at discrimination or the experiences of marginalized groups.
The books may seem to portray generalizations about a certain people. We must remember each family and even each individual person in a certain place or of a certain culture are different. These books are a representation of a certain part of a culture and time period. We will learn that it is often beneficial to put forth an effort to understand one another and show mercy toward others. Whether people are of a different age, race, or shape, we can exercise to be kind.Reseñas
