Today M. went to school dressed as her favorite character from a book because it is National Library Week.
Can you guess? Yes, Medusa, one of the "terrible three" . M. knows about her from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which we just finished reading. Then we saw the movie in which Medusa is played by Uma Thurman. And she looked awesome as Medusa. So M. has a hat/head full of colorful snakes, mirrored sunglasses and a concrete bunny. I sent her with some other information about Medusa but had to cross out the part about her having sex with Poseidon in Athena's temple, which is one story of how she lost her beautiful hair. I left M. with the story of how Medusa beat Athena in a beauty contest so Athena made her have a head full of snakes and a look that could turn men to stone. Just trying to clean up the story for first graders so I don't get calls all weekend!
