This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My lively 6th grade students this year are barrels of fun! They love to read, they are enthusiastic about math, they enjoy discussing new ideas with each other, and most importantly: (even in middle school) they are excited about learning!
Our small K-8 school has one class per grade, with two additional 6th grade Special Education classes.
We are a tight-knit bunch, since most of my students have been together since Kindergarten. Although we do not have a large facility with many of the things students would normally have (like a gym or an auditorium), students and teachers make the most of the space we do have and can be quite creative with the cafeteria space, as well as our own classrooms.
My Project
Who doesn't love a gripping story about gods, heroes, and mystical beings? I know my students do! They enjoy reading magical stories, listening to the action-packed adventures of heroes from long ago, and visualizing the many events within these tales. That is why our mythology unit is such an important aspect of the beginning of the school year: it's reignites their desire to sit down with a good book and absorb as much as they can within our reading block.
Students even beg for more time to read!
It feels wonderful to see how they learn about the ancient Greeks, their exciting myths, and still want more. This is why I would love for my students to be able to read the mythological graphic novels by Rick Riordan, as well as The Olympians series -- I know that it would help them better visualize the events, making stories come alive for even the most reluctant of readers.
