Weekly/Unit Class Updates:
1st and 2nd Grade:
In the 1/2 class, we will begin the year reading Charlotte's Web together. Students will be creating a lapbook based around some of the elements of a story as we introduce those concepts: characters, setting, and theme. They will leave these here as we work and then bring them home when we finish the unit in November.
10/14 and 10/15: We read chapters 16 and 17 in class. Students do not have a personal copy, but there are many audio versions online if your student was absent and you'd like for them to stay caught up.
3rd and 4th Grade:
10/14 and 10/15: Students completed their word maps for "hero" and "outlaw" and reviewed the reading in groups. They also began their Book of Virtues that we'll track as we continue to read Robin Hood.
5th and 6th Grade:
10/14 and 10/15: Students considered the question "What makes a good leader?" They thought through which of these qualities Achilles and Odysseus have shown and which they lack. We then went through an introduction to STEAL characterization which we'll use throughout the rest of the year.
7th and 8th Grade:
10/14 and 10/15: NO CLASS - enjoy Mountain Lab or your week off!
Welcome to Mrs. Grant's Literature Class at AHE!
Our goal in this class is to engage with literature as a way to understand the human experience. My hope is that students will develop a love of literature as we discuss our virtues and how they relate to the works studied, learn to recognize and appreciate literary devices, and learn to ask thoughtful questions.

1/2: Charlotte's Web, Various Short Stories, The Sign of the Beaver, Classic Starts Peter Pan
3/4: Classic Starts King Arthur, Robin Hood, Anne of Green Gables, The Trumpet of the Swan
5/6: The Door in the Wall, The Children's Homer, The Prince and the Pauper, The Scarlet Pimpernel
