SNOW DAY, but the learning keeps going!
Enjoying your snow day? I am. Although we aren't in school you can still learn things, get away form the TV and video games.
- If I had seen you in class today we would have drawn a map of Greece, free hand, not fill in the blank outline map.

- You can always search for a map of Ancient Greece on the internet.
- Draw an outline map of Greece and label the following locations: Athens, Sparta, Marathon, Olympia, Delphia, Peloponnesus, Crete, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea, Macedonia and Asia Minor.

Create 5 Trading Cards for Greek Gods and Goddesses. Trading Cards describe achievements or 'stats' for a 'person'. Think of baseball cards. What traits or qualities does this god or goddess have? Be sure to include a picture.
You can use these websites or create your card from scratch.
