The Olympics went great last week. We crowned several Olympic Champions in tough events like: Rock, Paper, Scissors and staring contests. We have just one more event left which we will do outside later this week when the weather gets nicer.
We are winding down 3rd quarter by watching a couple of Greek themed videos this week. We barely started the History Channel Documentary: The Last Stand of the 300 last week. About the 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae. We will be finishing this Tuesday. Wednesday we will do our fourth and final Olympic event. Thursday and Friday we will be watching the Disney Hercules film. There is an assignment that needs to be done with the 300 documentary and we are doing that as a class as we watch the video. That will be the final assignment in the 3rd quarter grade book. I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Spring Break!

It's Olympics week!!!! We are doing our group simulation of the ancient Greek Olympic games. We are not doing athletic events though in the interest of leveling the playing field and giving everyone a chance to excel. We will spending the week on our tournaments. Next week we will talk a bit about Greece vs. Persia before watching Hercules (the Disney version) going into spring break.
Not a lot of assignments over the next two weeks so a good time to catch up on missing work before the quarter is over. |
