It's Olympic!

And it's Finally it's Friday too!

After a morning of sugar, Alexander the Great, and a gargantuan math test the students had the opportunity to partake in something completely different:

A smorgasboard of academic, dramatic, and physical activities that would make Zeus throw a lighning bolt up to the heavens with glee and enthusiasm (well, maybe not that exciting - but pretty challenging, fun and creative, all the same).

Starting with an ancient Greek Quiz Bowl of facts, the students (in their Finally it's Friday teams) vied to answer the most answers correctly. Then, onto a tricky game of ancient Greek Password, followed by 3-Actor charades, and finally some major physical exertion:

The first updated TPJA Greek Olympics, featuring a torch relay, a three-legged race, an M & M Toss, a Ball Pass, and, a race to move water from one bucket to another. Whew!

Fun, challenging, definitely different...but it was all Greek to the students in Room 503!

Have a wonderful three-day weekend.

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
