Teach Literacy through the Arts in DC, MD, and VA

WE HAVE REACHED 90% OF THIS PROJECTS GOAL!!!

Thank you for your continued support

We love our students and schools we get to teach at. Jessup Elementary is no exception. The teachers and student sthere are remarkable. We recently had a few classes submit some original writings about Greek Myths. Student creativity is AMAZING. Check out this work submitted through Mrs. Donor’s classroom:

Original Greek Myth Characters:

• Zeus (King of the Gods), 100 years old, Powerful, Excited
• Poseidon (God of the Sea) 112 years old, Aggressive, Angry
• Athena (Goddess of Wisdom) 40 years old, Brave, lonely
• Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt and Moon), 99 years old, Helpful, Afraid

 

Setting: On a Gigantic Cloud above an ocean full of dangerous sharks, Spring Thunderstorm, Chilly, The sky is a dark ominously gray color, huge undulating waves Problem: Poseidon stirs up the ocean creating gigantic angry waves.  He wants to knock Athena off of the clouds and into the water.  Athena bragged directly to Poseidon “I’m  1 million times smarter than you!” She is so cruel to him because he made fun of her yesterday.  Artemis overheard and tells Athena that she’s right. Artemis shouts, “Poseidon is the meanie of the family.”

There were many examples from this school and we will send out more from these young "authors." What an exciting time to be involved in their lives. The creativity and imagination that pours from them is life changing. We LOVE what we do. We LOVE to impact students and thereby change the communities they and we live in.

Thank you so much for your support, please continue to advocate for us by sending this report to friends and family that would love to be part of this project too.
