Greek Myths~Beloved By Students

The way that we ended our last full week of school was by reading and writing about the main characters and the lessons they learned in each myth.  It was startling how second graders could show such enthusiasm for reading when they knew they'd be out of school in a matter of days.  They thoroughly enjoyed participating in the "close reading" activities and writing about the lesson learned from the character's point of view.  Some students wanted to "collect" their pocket puppets and take them home as a group while others delighted in taking home a new puppet each day!!
