This week in social studies, the 6th graders enjoyed learning about the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece. Each student did research on one of the Olympians last week and shared their findings with the class. On Monday, we started using Schoology, an online tool that helps students turn in their work. On Tuesday, students read some ancient Greek myths and students acted them out for each other. Next week, students will learn about ancient Persia and how their civilization affected the Greeks.
Questions for your 6th grader:
-What Greek god or goddess did you present to the class?
-What two elements do most myths have?
-Show me what Schoology looks like.
Devon, Eric, Ryan, and Olivia are acting out the myth of Persephone and the seasons.
James, Taylor, Linnea, and Noah are explaining the myth of Icarus to the class.
Aidan, Sage, Elena, and Max are teaching the class the myth of Arachne, which explains how spiders were created.
