Pumpkins, SAQ's, and Alexander, oh my

Humanitarians,

I'm sorry about not posting yesterday, I got too worked up about Halloween and dashed out the door because trick-or-treating children are everything. HOW ARE THEY SO CUTE?!

We  hope you enjoyed both Humanities' arts and crafts day as well as whatever your Halloween festivities included. What did you dress up as?? I was Barb from Stranger Things  and the Little Mermaid, because two nights of get-togethers call for two costumes. Mr. Garafola was Brexit, which was both topical and pretty lazy.

Here some of my favs from the interwebs:
sexy Bridgegate. lolzzzz

Today in class, we did SO MUCH. A CE (almost halfway done ALREADY with this 9-weeks), our 2nd SAQ (some of y'all need to be quicker on the turn around on redos), and some document practice about Hellenism - this will be online if you need/want to work through this at home. Basic take-away for Hellenism - Alexander the Great's conquest of Greece through central Asia spread Greek culture, but also created a power vacuum where the Greek city-states/Persian empire once were, leading in part to the rise of Rome.
