JHS Hugemanatees: Alllll the isms!

Whoops, almost forgot to post for the day! I'm currently updating this while watching the season finale of Better Call Saul (anyone else watching?!).

Fun fact: There are only five Mondays left in the school year.

Today was one of my favorite days of the year - introducing one of my favorite projects to you guys - Isms! How often do we tell you to imagine, color, draw, paint, sculpt, cut, or glue with the fewest parameters possible? We've shown you some of the Humanities masterpieces and we can't wait to see what you come up with by May 23. So, start thinking of what you'd like to do and let us know in a week!

Modern Dada: Skeletor hates He-Man!

Don't forget - you've got a few pages out of your Humanities textbook over Pop Art to read this week as well as our first Current Event of the six-weeks tomorrow (two questions!). The Pope recently took some Syrian refugees to Rome in act of compassion.

I think it's time for some papal trivia.

Cardinals didn't begin electing the pope until 1054 - previously the decision was made by aristocrats and secular leaders
The first pope to change his name to something "pope-y" was John II in 533; his real name was Mercury and he didn't believe being named after a Roman god was very Christian
The shortest papacy belongs to Urban VII, who died of malaria after just twelve days in office

Also, sophomores, don't forget to sign up for the practice exam by this Thursday online!

Some Internet funnies for the day:
