McClellan Elementary 2nd Gradersrs Bring Ancient Greece to Life
Each year at McClellan Elementary, second-grade students explore ancient Greece through the CKLA( Core Knowledge Language Arts) curriculum. As they read engaging Greek myths, students learn about the many gods and goddesses the ancient Greeks believed in.
After completing the unit, each student chooses one god or goddess to research. They gather facts, write a short report, and prepare a presentation about their chosen figure’ s powers and role in mythology.
The unit concludes with our exciting Wax Museum event. Students dress up as their selected god or goddess and become“ living statues.” When visitors press a button, the statues come to life and share the facts they’ ve learned. It’ s a fun and memorable way to celebrate learning while building confidence and presentation skills!
