🎅 We will discuss the history, culture, and traditions of five winter holidays such as 🎄Christmas, 🔥 Yule, 🪐 Saturnalia, ❄️ Winter Solstice, and 🕯️ Kwanzaa, and how they are celebrated around the globe. For example, the "Christmas tree" and other decorations are not from the Christian religion, but rather from Yule and Winter Solstice. Who exactly was Santa Clause? There are a few actually. We discuss how Santa's reindeer came to be and why we exchange gifts - all coming from different winter holidays. Fun facts, short videos, and discussions are a part of this diverse class. Bring snacks, beverages, and wear a holiday hat because it's a short educational class but a PARTY too (if students want to)! 🧤🧣 ~ ✝️ Christmas: This is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. In a secular manner, I will give a short lecture about the history & origins of this holiday along with a secular video from both History.com and National Geographic. ~ 🎄 Yule: The ancient Norsemen of Scandinavia celebrated Yule from the winter solstice through January. It is still celebrated in many countries including Germany. "Father Christmas" or "Santa Claus", and the decorating of trees and wreaths came from Yule. In a secular manner, I will give a short lecture about the history & origins of this holiday along with a secular video from History.com. ~ ❄️ Winter Solstice: Cultures around the world have long held feasts and celebrated holidays around the winter solstice. Fire and light are traditional symbols of celebrations held on the darkest day of the year. This is where "Christmas lights", candles, "Santa's elves", and the reindeer came from. In a secular manner, I will give a short lecture about the history & origins of this holiday along with a secular video from History.com. ~ 🎁 Saturnalia: The pagan celebration of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and time, began as a single day, but by the late Republic (133-31 B.C.) in Rome it had expanded to a weeklong festival beginning December 17. This is where "Christmas dinner" and exchanging of gifts came from. In a secular manner, I will give a short lecture about the history & origins of this holiday along with a secular video from History.com and National Geographic. ~ 🕯️Kwanzaa: Derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Each family celebrates Kwanzaa in its own way, but celebrations often include songs and dances, African drums, storytelling, poetry reading, and a large traditional meal. While not an ancient holiday the ideals and merriment has been done for centuries in Africa. In a secular manner, I will give a short lecture about the history & origins of this holiday along with a secular video from History.com and National Geographic. After my short lectures and videos of the winter holidays listed above, I'll ask some questions related to them and engage students in a meaningful but truly secular discussion and conversation as well as answer questions. Finally, we will play a fun Mad Libs plus a Kahoot! Did you know that Christmas is related to Mardi Gras, and Easter too? Yup, I have one time classes for Mardi Gras and Easter too (wink). By learning about holidays in a secular mode, we learn more about different cultures and especially history.

FROM OUTSCHOOL...
We stand with learners. We are all learners.
At Outschool, we commit to standing with all learners by fostering a diverse and multicultural community, where differences are honored, welcomed, and accepted. With education as the catalyst and technology as the tool, we are uniquely positioned to connect learners to experiences that broaden their understanding of themselves and the world around them through our collective love for learning.
At Outschool, we strive to be OUTstanding by fostering a global online community, elevating unique voices, and transforming the way we work and learn.
At Outschool, we are all learners. We are curious and continuously interrogate the inequities created by systemic oppression on education and learning. We have the opportunity to evolve education by creating a marketplace that reflects and respects the lived experiences of historically ignored communities.
This work is never done. To ensure equity across multiple lines of difference and experiences, we maintain a bias toward transformative action.
Here’s what action looks like for Outschool.
Diversity
We intentionally include fair representation of different social identities–including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, social class, physical ability or attributes, and learning needs.
Equity
We implement processes to ensure inclusion and procedures to eliminate barriers or imbalances that keep community members from having equal opportunities.
Inclusion
Outschool cultivates an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
Belonging
We create a sense of connection through meaningful experiences by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
While our open community is our greatest source of strength, it also brings challenges. It is important to us that Outschool is a safe space for our users. Our members should treat each other without bias or prejudice across all pillars of diversity including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, and gender identity. Down below are Outschool's Parent and Learner guidelines that we ask our members to observe. Outschool members who do not meet these guidelines will be removed from the site.
PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Learners should only attend class under their own enrollment, as themselves. It violates Outschool policy for a learner to use their sibling’s or another learner’s enrollment to attend class. Learns may only join a live meeting by using the green button in their class on their Outschool Learner Account. Educators are forbidden from sending links and passwords to Zoom live meetings.
2. Ask questions of teachers to clarify any missing details about classes, important information about your learner, and fill out your learner's profile such as age, gender preference, and any notes that the educator may need to know about your learner so they may help your learner throughout the class.
3. Make sure your learner shows up for their class; many classes depend on group conversation, and the absence of a single student can have a big impact. If a learner must miss a live meeting please have them notify their educator via a private message under the Teacher tab in their learner account as soon as possible, or you may notify the educator under the Message tab on your parent account.
4. Provide constructive feedback and reviews about your class experience, for the benefit of the teacher and other parents. The same goes for private messages.
5. Engage in civil conversation, and speak and act with respect for different opinions. Check for private messages from your learner's educators and respond promptly. All communication must take place and stay on Outschool.
6. Help keep Outschool a safe space for learners, families, and teachers from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations. To that end, we encourage you to watch our Trust and Safety Code of Conduct video with your learner. Learners may not share personal information such as email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, gamer tags, social media, etc.
LEARNER CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Join the class on time and be ready to learn. Have all of the tools, textbooks, handouts, notes, or anything else the educator has asked of you ready to go before class starts.
2. Be kind: Help all learners feel welcome and included. Give positive feedback to your fellow classmates.
3. Be safe: Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs (e.g., email address, mailing address, phone number, gamer tags, etc.). All communication must take place and stay on Outschool.
4. Be respectful: Treat others how you want to be treated. Dress in a manner appropriate for class; please be fully clothed with both a top and bottoms on and sit upright for the class. Treat the teacher and your classmates with respect.
5. Engage & Participate: Contribute to a class environment in a way that is safe and welcoming for learners and teachers from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations. Take responsibility for making each class a great learning experience for yourself and your classmates: participate, stay on topic, and avoid distractions. Check for private messages from your educator and respond back promptly.
OUTSCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. We welcome members from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations and are committed to creating a safe space for our users across all pillars of diversity.
2. We will listen to feedback from parents, teachers, and learners, and make changes accordingly. Send an email to support@outschool at any time!
3. We will create and enforce policies to create a high-quality, trusted, and safe community for learning. This may include removing content or users from the platform.
4. We will respond promptly to questions and issues that arise.
TEACHER CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Offer classes only where you have the appropriate background or expertise.
2. Teach classes professionally:
3. Be prepared, begin on time, and treat all learners with respect.
4. Do not teach while impaired and do not model any behavior that a student age 18 or younger is restricted from doing.
5. Respond promptly to parent questions and requests.
6. Communicate with parents and learners in a professional manner, both in messages and in-class.
7. Keep all communications on our platform; never provide personal contact information to parents or learners for “off-platform” communications, or in-person meetings (prohibited unless an Outschool-sponsored event).
8. Adhere to our class content policy by only offering secular, objective, age-appropriate classes
9. Create a safe and welcoming space for learners and families from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations.
供應清單
No materials other than paper and pen are needed for this class, and a desire to have fun learning. Students may bring snacks and beverages as well as wear a holiday hat - it's a party. I would suggest a headset or earbuds with a microphone, a comfortable place to learn, and some water in case they become thirsty as there are no breaks during this class.

As a Social Sciences teacher I enjoy educating students about different holidays, their true meanings, the history, and the significance. In all of my Social Studies classes I have taken a day out of the normal routine to explain and educate students about significant dates from a historical perspective. I also teach high school World Religion and have a Ph.D. in Religious Studies.評論
