ANCIENT GREECE HERE WE COME

The Second Grade is very excited about beginning our quest to Ancient Greece.   We began our journey by reading fables. We  then decided to write our own fables!  It was great fun. The fables are displayed on our bulletin board outside our classroom.  We also included our own drawings.    

We were interested about how the Greeks created their famous pottery.  We learned the location of clay deposits and how the potters used the clay.  We learned that moist clay and water, called  slip, was used as a kind of glue for the pots.  We have researched the different kinds of pots and have them displayed on our bulletin board.  We will be working with Mrs. Sarachman to create our own pots with Greek designs.  We cannot wait!
