Monday Madness

Good Morning,

This week is going to be BUSY!  We are streaming steadily through The Odyssey.  All classes will be writing "Modern Hero" articles.  This is a wonderful opportunity to apply our classroom discussions about Odysseus, the hero, to a modern hero/heroine of your choice.  Also, remember that creativity is not only an extra, but a requirement for this project.  As we discussed in class, columns and graphics will add creativity to your article.

Teachers have professional development on Wednesday so classes will be shortened.  Thursday is Parent Open House from 7-9pm.

For your reference, here is the modern hero article assignment sheet:
