Highlights for the Weeks of 12/16/2019
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom


Spelling -  Mythology Words
We will continue our study of mythological words with an emphasis on allusion in myths. The spelling test for mythology words is scheduled for Friday, 12/20.



Reading - Unit 1 - "Courage" 




Our study of Greek Mythology continues with a look at the myth of Hercules.  We will also focus on the skill of summarizing.

After winter break, I will introduce a mythology project that focuses on personalized learning.
