Experimenting with the ancient Greek alphabet

Once we had our jobs, each group worked to create a sign for their stand in the ancient Greek agora. We tried using the Greek alphabet for the writing. We found out this was really hard, because the Greeks didn't have the exact same letters or sounds that we have in our alphabet today. Can you read our signs?
