Jane and her class had spent the entire fall reading the Odyssey.
Indeed it was their odyssey through the Odyssey and soon
they would have spent more time on the book than the original trip took.
To celebrate what we thought was the end of the book -- what did we know --
they had an odyssey celebration at which they showed their projects.
We started to explore and admired the chess set
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0617
the board game
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0618
and the book
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0619
about the book when we ran into Priscilla Scheiner
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0620
and then took a picture of her with Dan
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0621
but it's impossible to ever get them both to open their eyes at the same time.
So it was back to projects -- the one made from PlayMobil
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0622
another chess set
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0623
some Lego
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0624
the Olympians
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0625
and the finest project of all
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0626
which was, most unfortunately, destroyed by a teacher who then blamed
it on the principal.
This concern didn't take away from Phil Haimm's good mood
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0627
and Lucy and Rosie
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0628
and the Crans
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0629
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0630
and Fred
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0631
were still willing to pose even though Jojo
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0632
did his raincoat over the head imitation and Jane
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0633
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0634
was only giving side views even as Fred's story
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0635
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0636
excited the assembled.
The project group
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0637
and its inner core
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0638
posed for team pictures as the crowds gathered
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0639
and the man with the white beard appeared
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0640
but there was still a diorama to see
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0641
and the ancient Greek recited
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0642
for everyone's amusement
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0643
as Kevin
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0644
posed with Anna
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0645
to bring an end to our odyssey.
It having been an odyssey, it seemed to make sense to record my hat
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0646
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0647
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0648
in the car and the outside
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0649
and inside
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0650
and outside
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0651
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0652
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0653
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0654
from our odyssey home where we were met by Meredith
../../../Sabbat/12.10.02OdysseyNight//IMG_0655
who was drinking tea instead of taking her own odyssey.
Or maybe tea is part of her odyssey?
