Greek Olympics

Earlier this year the 6th grade studied all about Egypt and then did a huge series of projects at the end of the unit.  Aidan's favorite was his Lego pyramid he built, no surprise there.

 But when the kids finished up their unit on Greece/Greek mythology the teachers put on a mock Greek Olympics.  Complete with togas.

 After a while many of the kids' togas fell off, which is just keeping with the spirit of the games I suppose.  Because as Aidan liked to remind me, they didn't wear anything under the togas.  And well, we all know what they wore while participating in the games...

 It was a good day, my station was under some shade trees (thank you Ms Cisterna!!)  And Aidan's toga held up really well, it was a sheet that had seen the end of it's days, so I cut it up, re-stitched it, and hemmed it.

 Oh, and I had to wear a toga too.  Mine was yellow.  Another old sheet that had seen the end of it's days.  And I totally rocked it, just don't ask for picture to prove it :)
