Hi, everybody. Long time, no see!! Sorry I've missed a few classes this month. I will be there this Saturday, though, and Scott has a great idea for a homework assignment. This coming Thursday is the day Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving. It's a day when people "give thanks" to their families, to their friends, to God, or to whomever they feel grateful for the good things in their lives. Scott suggested that we write in our notebooks about the things we are thankful for in our lives, and I think that's a great idea. Please spend some time thinking about your life and write a few paragraphs -- don't forget to explain WHY you are thankful for those things. Why are they special to you?
Moms and Dads, it might be a good exercise for us to do, too -- how about a few paragraphs from the parents to share with our group?
See you Saturday!

Homework for November 15
Hi everybody --
Most of you seemed pretty interested in our introduction to ancient Greek Myths last class, so I would like you to look at this website (click here) and choose a myth from the list on the left that looks interesting to you. Read it and write a little story report about it in your notebook. Write:
1/ Who are the main characters?
2/ What are 2 interesting events that happen in the story?
3/ Did you like the story (yes or no)? Why/Why not?
I hope you find something you like!!
I won't see you this weekend because Sophie and Maya have an event at their school, but Doug will be very interested to hear about the stories you read. If you like, you can print out the story and bring it with you to class -- maybe Doug can read one or two of them for everyone to enjoy.
See you soon-
