If there was an opportunity to take advantage of decent weather while they still had it, Gladio was going to do so. It might be a little warm for some people (especially for October), but he'd always liked warm weather better, anyway. Easier to sweat, and therefor easier to know you've put in some good work, right? Either way, this meant the class was taking it out of the gym today and out onto the lawn, where he was ready with a ball in hand and two goals on either side marking the area and making it pretty clear that today was going to be a sport-focused day.

"Alright, guys," he started, "today, we're going to be learning about football, but not that football, the football that's known here as soccer but football nearly everywhere else, except here, because here, football is something different."

He flashed them a grin, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I don't get it, either. But the American football's a lot harder to pull off with such a small class, so we're leaning hard into this one, which makes more sense anyway, since the whole point is kicking the ball with your feet. And even though we're not going to clearly be playing a typical game, we're going to introduce you to the rules and how it's played and then just basically spend the rest of the time kicking, passing, tending goal, and maybe even a few neat tricks with the ball. So, let's get stretching, and then it's game on."

Sam Eagle Presents: The Weird States of America, Thursday 10/5

[but_mostly_america]

“Last week,” Sam began without any preamble (preambles were for constitutions, not for eagles) “we discussed Rhode Island and why it is weird. One of the weirdest things, of course, was its name! This week we shall discuss other weird names in this country!”

Sam gave a long-suffering sigh.

“For example, we have Kansas and then we have Arkansas.” Sam pointed to the whiteboard behind him that was now displaying the two state names. Had it been doing that moments ago? Who could say, really. “Despite their spellings those two states sound nothing alike! This is deeply weird! There is no reason for this nonsense!”

Sam, there probably was a reason you just couldn't be bothered to look it up.

"And then we have South Dakota! South! When it is, in fact, extremely northern!"

The nerve of that frozen state calling itself south!

"Now, students, who else can think of an example of a weirdly named state?"

Or you could defend one of these ones. Whatever worked for you, students. Not that Sam would admit that.

Library, Thursday 10/5

The library was getting into spooky season with colorful lights on the desk and a very large selection of spooky books on display.

Belle was perusing the selections as she walked along the shelves, pulling a few books to take back and read herself as she went.
