When 6th graders are reading The Lightning Thief and read, "On the table next to me was a tall drink. It looked like iced apple juice, with a green straw and a paper parasol stuck through a maraschino cherry," and learn that the drink actually tastes like blue chocolate chip cookies, your teacher has to have a little snack time! We are looking forward to a great week of learning during the last full week of August!
