Hello FOCO Family!

I've been cheering on the Women's National Team during the Olympics--Go Sophia Smith!  Did you know her Mom played Varsity soccer for the Lambkins?  

I've also been camping, reading, landscaping, road-tripping, and renovating.  Now, I'm thinking about making 2023-24 so much fun for Humanities and World Lit.  The World Lit. team and I met throughout the summer, and this class shows the best of our team's three months of planning.

Humanities and Concurrent Enrollment Humanities, we will take a hands-on scaffolded approach as we move chronologically from the Ancient Greeks or Middle Ages forward.  Each class day will build upon the previous day.  It's super fun, and less fun to miss than building Ancient Greek Temples out of playdough while learning the geography and mythology of each island as we transform our classroom into the map of the Greek islands "sailing" from Athens to Sparta, Cypress to Lesbos.  Homework in the college-level sections 1021 and 1022  will include reading and annotating.  Classical Humanities completes class projects, notes, and study guides during class time, so students have work when they miss class.

I love teaching at Fort Collins High School, and seeing your children, like my own, as the legacy of excellence that is Fort Collins High School--Home of the Champions.  

With love and respect,

Ms. Hanson
