Ask students to write a report about a specific character in Greek mythology. Student presentations of their completed reports will expose the entire class to a variety of individuals in mythology. Students can even dress like their mythological character on the day of their presentation. After reading Max's Chocolate Chicken , students can decorate their own eggs. They can dye hard-boiled eggs, or adorn plastic eggs with paint, stickers, bits of paper and ribbon, and glitter glue.
Students can then participate in an egg hunt either in their classroom or outdoors.
Her mother was a member of Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, and her father was a playwright and actor. Most of her childhood was spent outdoors on the New Jersey shore at a time when New Jersey was still small farms and miles of woods. My mother made sure I listened to classical music. Both of them flooded me with books and stories and took me to the theater and to museums. I thank them endlessly for giving me all the important stuff in life.
