A late but nevertheless from the heart welcome to grade 6!

The first project of Grade 6, in the library, was about myths. Research was done for 3 consecutive weeks. Working in groups of 2 or 3, each group chose a different myth, Echo, Phaethon, Narcissus, Atalanta, Pygmalion, Orpheus, Oedipus, Persephone, Niobe, Bellerophon, Io and Europa. They prepared a poster, and presented it to their peers in the library and in class. Flash cards were not allowed. They told about Zeus, Olympus the underworld ....
Some were costumed (dressed the same way as in ancient times, some crayons hanging from hair to suggest long hair, a golden apple to distract Atalanta, a belly to suggest strong muscles, a guitar to accompany the telling of the story, and some fortune cookies to share with their friends)
