6th Grade - Summer Reading Adventure

Purchase, read and enjoy The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

This novel will be the start of our literary discussions and analysis in September. 
It’s about the adventures of a young boy and his connections to Greek mythology. 
Take notes in the margins, draw pictures, and talk about this novel with your parents and friends.  In fact, if you really like this book, there are now three more in the series.

Check out Rick Riordan’s website www.rickriordan.com

Connect with this novel by learning about Greek mythology.

Check out books from the library and watch old, we mean really OLD movies,
like Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans.

Sixth Grade is a year that is centered on ancient history, starting with Mesopotamia and ending in the Middle Ages.  Chicago offers many perfect museums to introduce and further your interest in these times.

Also, check out their websites:
