Coming up on Friday is the Medieval Feast! Students should dress or bring clothes that are suitable for someone during this time period. Also, many have offered to bring in an item of food to be shared with everyone. Notes have gone home with students regarding their choices, but this may change when parents have an input as well. Don't worry if you are unable to contribute, there will be lots of food to go around. I will be bringing in chicken wings, almond milk, non-alcoholic wine, cups, and music. We hope to create a great memory for students with this activity. Friday is also sub day, so those of you who ordered, save room! Also, make sure you pack something to eat incase your taste is different from the lords and ladies of the Middle ages. We don't want anyone going hungry!
Below are some links to costume ideas and recipes from the middle ages if you'd like to explore this further.

In reading we are looking at poetry features as well as practicing reading and listening to poetry. This goes well with writing with Mrs. Hill where we are writing poems.
Below are some great poetry links for kids. Pick a poem you really like (or a few) and perform a poetry reading for people at home!
