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.
11/4 and 11/5: We finished chapter 20 and designed our own medals for Wilbur before reading part of chapter 21.
3rd and 4th Grade:
11/4 and 11/5: Students continued work on their Book of Virtues from Robin Hood and listened to chapter 11 to help with the homework load this week.
5th and 6th Grade:
11/4 and 11/5: Students reviewed last week's reading and continued work on their own versions of Achilles' Shield.
7th and 8th Grade:
11/4 and 11/5: Students watched the 3/4 performance and then completed a class activity designed to get them thinking about "prejudice" from several points of view.
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.
