All of my students are especially excited this year to learn about the Ancient Greeks. Mythology is a topic that they have expressed a special interest in this year and I want to allow their interests to flourish in my classroom. The students at HMS come from a wide variety of backgrounds and not every student has the financial ability to buy a book of their choosing. One of our goals at HMS is to bring literacy into the Social Studies classroom. That is why I am asking for donations to buy a class set of mythology books that we can read during our lit circle class time. The book my students will be reading is a student friendly version of "The Odyssey" with wonderful illustrations. I was only able to afford 12 of these books so I am looking for the donations to buy 12 more to create a class set. This way, each student will have their own copy to look at and read in class.
