"It's All Greek To Me!" - 2nd Grade Greek History Festival
Last week, our Collin County second grade classes participated in the annual Grammar School History Festival.
Those second graders presented all about the Greek culture, art, sports, and philosophers.
The second graders work diligently all year to be ablet to make it to these fests that are put on as a showcase for parents and friends. They start by reciting a song they've been learning in class, but all of them have memorized the Nicene Creed by memory. This impressive feat for second graders accumulates the standard that CDA holds, as we also live by this Nicene Creed in and out of the classroom.
Next, these students recite their also memorized Greek alphabet! From A-Z or Alpha to Omega, these smart students showcased their studies in strides.
Each student also had a personal presentation on one of the forementioned categories, explaining the history, people, and giving examples behind all of them. For example, some female students did a presentation over Greek makeup and jewelry, describing where the Greek women would find and how they would make the ingredients for the makeup.
For some male students, they would give cunning and descriptive notes of the Olympic games or accounting the Greek Gods.
To hear these very intuitive second graders stand up on their own and speak clearly, owning their education that is presented, it is a privilege to see just where the University Model of CDA can take them!
Our teachers, parents and families have been well-involved in their process the whole year, and we want to thank all of them for their hard work also.
