Field Trip Day!

Just kidding. Kind of.

Today, Ms. Howell and I switched classrooms. As our venerable Latin teacher, and good friend, I was delighted to invite her to use 3NW to give the National Latin Exam.

In Rm. 100, Freshmen had the opportunity to review for our Mythology Test on Monday, or the quiz in Wellness, or their Engineering Quiz.

Check out this cool map of Odysseus' pathway home!

Jeopardy REMATCH

Y'all...if you didn't come to the After-school Mythology Study Session...let me just say, you missed a good time.

It was in Mrs. Syes' room. Energy was high. Many screams were scrum. Birdman Jr. accused me of foul play.

And...Mrs. Syes' class won.

By 100 points.

Special thanks to the student who left me this on my whiteboard.

As if losing wasn't bad enough...This is the song Mrs. Syes played (VERY LOUDLY) at the end:
