Olympics: The Humanities Edition

ARE. YOU. READYYYYYYY?!? Get out your togas, because the Olympics are here! This project  has been one of the longest-running in Humanities (since I was a student, actually), and one of the most fun things we do in class. Today we introduced the project and got you into your civilizations for competition. If you weren't here today, make sure to get with your teacher so we can figure out what events you will be competing in! Let the games begin!!

Unfortunately the Queen will not be attending our Humanities Olympics with her face of disdain.

This weekend is Halloween weekend...what's everyone dressing up as? Not only can you get your candy and costume on, but maybe you can knock out a Humanities Experience as well. Here are some ideas in the DFW world this weekend:

• The Music Hall at Fair Park has the concert of all concerts: the Dallas POPS' Pokemon: Symphonic Evolution. Sadly, tickets cost around $25, so it's not the cheapest, but Pokemon. (I'm saying this because I feel like this makes some of you excited, not from personal enjoyment). 
• Also, speaking of orchestra performances, the Dallas Symphony is doing Disney's Fantasia live in concert at the Meyerson. Who doesn't love Disney?
• Check out the Kimbell Art Museum's Monet exhibit. 
• Also if you're feeling like driving to Fort Worth, the Modern Art Museum is broadcasting a theater performance of Frankenstein. Benedict Cumberbatch is in it, just saying.

Or if you just want to enjoy the Halloween spirit, here's a list of my personal favorite Halloween (school appropriate) movies to watch while you gorge yourself on overpriced Halloween candy!

Dory is all of us.

• Hocus Pocus
• The Addams Family
• The Nightmare before Christmas
• Or just do what works for every holiday...watch Harry Potter!

Have an AMAZING Halloween weekend friends! See you on Monday for some Halloween fun in class!
