My Project

The Rick Riordan series of mythology books ties in perfectly with our learning of ancient history. This is a book many of my students have not experienced. I see many of them reading ahead because of their excitement to find out what happens next. Many of my students go on to read others in his series of the Greek gods. I am so proud when they ask me, What’s next?” Thank goodness Mr. Riordan is such a prolific writer. The love of reading is a gift we can all give!
