"Classes are small and my kids are very fond of several very caring teachers and vis-versa. It’s also been good for me to see them being so independent with their APEX assignments." Jane, parent of a 7th & 11th grader

Check out the cool masks we made today representing Gaea and Uranus from Greek mythology!

Students started learning about ancient Greece by doing research on topics like school, culture, daily life and more. We will continue learning about ancient Greece through various resources and in-class projects over the next several weeks as we also start learning about the myths and gods of Mount Olympus.

Welcome to Myths and Heroes

It was so nice to get a chance to meet and talk with many of you this week! In case we didn't get to talk, or if I forgot to mention it, we will be keeping a portfolio of our adventures in mythology throughout the year. If you have a NOTEBOOK you would like to use that can be dedicated to just Myths and Heroes, please bring it to class next week. Otherwise, I will be happy to provide one of our plain old boring composition notebooks to use.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you next week!
