The Mything Link

No, that's not me spelling incorrectly - it's simply another play on words!

Today was a mythical day from morning through the afternoon (with a break in between for the second half of the sixth grade math test).

Each student presented his/her prepared Greek mythological story, beginning with the introduction of their character and a reading of their project dedication page.


While one student presented, the rest of the class gave their focus to listening, watching and writing a constructive critique of the presentation. By doing so, each student was responsible for lending their support to every other student.


At the end of the school day, students were given the opportunity to check out each other's "scrapbooks" and see all the different and creative ways each student chose to put their project together.


I am very proud of the students in Room 503. This project was a big undertaking and most all of the students stepped up to the plate to meet the challenge.


Opa!


Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
