Today's class


Today’s class was pretty entertaining! We all walked in and sat down, and this time I didn’t need to leave the classroom to try and attempt to open my locker for my book! As soon as the bell rung for the beginning of class, Mr. Schick walked in, only to walk back out a few seconds later announcing that Greg was to be in charge of prayer. Greg was a bit nervous because he didn’t know the prayer, so Keeshan took over. We said the prayer and then sat back down. We had just finished when Mr. Schick arrived back in the classroom, and this time he had his teaching cart with him.  He immediately told us to pull out our notebooks because we were taking notes today, then he mentioned a reading, and we all realized this was all too familiar. We told Mr. Schick how we did that all yesterday, and then we were underway. We all pulled up our blogs and the definitions we were supposed to have looked up for homework. Some of us did the homework right, but some of us, like myself, forgot to relate some of the definitions to ancient Greece. Towards the end of class, Mr. Schick was announcing how he really would have loved to go back in time and walk around with Socrates, and talk to him. He then pounded his fist down on the desk so hard and loud I thought I would jump through the celing! Then I thought maybe he was mad at someone and had a sudden muscle spasm or was trying to get someone’s attention, but he was just experiencing the happy emotions when he talked about the first time in history where there was a democracy, so yes! Class was very entertaining!
