Mr. Sams' classes are participating in a month-long
simulation that involves the students in a series of Olympic events that
will enable
their team to earn points. The five
City-States that are competing in the events are Sparta, Athens, Megara, Corinth, and Argos. Events will include Balancing, Jumping, Knowledge, Staring, Boxing (a memory game!), Basketball,
Puzzle-making, Racing and many others.

The "Greek Olympics" will teach the students many important lessons such as: teamwork, cooperation, responsibility, motivation, fairness, loyalty, reliability, focus, and determination. Each student will represent a certain City-State or Polis of Ancient Greece. They will have to work together to achieve victory. The winners will receive an A+ test grade so the incentive is real!
