Friday 10/30 - History Fair






Alex's school had a history fair highlighting the Middle Ages. The kids have been learning about various aspects of feudal and castle life throughout the fall. Everyone dressed in costumes (many knights, a few kings/queens, princesses, peasants, jesters, etc), there was a presentation by a local dance company the specializes in Renaissance era court dances and then games and presentations prepared by the 6-8 grade children for the youngers.
Maya and I went and hung out at school for the morning. She was thrilled to be able to come to school with her brother and did quite well in the classroom - she was a very good listener! Alex got chosen to go up on stage and participate in the maypole dance demonstration by the dance company! His costume was very sparkly on stage!
A big thank you to Grandma for his awesome costume!
