Greek Olympics

Josie has been studying ancient Greece for the past month or so.  On Wednesday she had the end of the unit party/project with the entire 6th grade class participating in the Greek Olympics.  Half wisdom and half physical competitions.  Along with an enormous class (all 126 students) potluck. During social studies class each day they had to wear their homemade Togas and they also wore these for the Greek Olympics.  She said her class did terribly but she had a lot of fun.
For one of the knowledge competitions she chose to recent the Greek alphabet.  Each student could choose to either recite the Greek alphabet or memorize famous Greek quotes. She choose the Greek alphabet as did 3/4 of her class.  She tied for 3rd out of about 100 students.  It was judged by who ever did it the fastest without mistakes.
