Medieval Feast

Hannah designed her own costume to wear to the Medieval Feast at school today. (Isn't she clever with a glue gun?) She played the Gussli (a Russian version of the audo harp--God Rest Ye Marry Gentleman) for her talent. The children ate chicken and got to throw the bones to the floor, butter sugar cookies, crackers, cheese, and jam, juice, and other cooked dishes. This concluded their unit on the Middle Ages where they have read books like Catherine Called Birdy, The Midwife's Apprentice, learned about Knights and chivalry, the Feudal system, designed their own 3D castles, sewed pin cushions, designed a family crest and coat of arms, described and drew weaponry, etc.
