Monks from the Middle Ages took vows of silence, and devoted their lives to prayer. Can you wear a simple belted robe or hooded shirt to represent the dress of those long ago days? Congratulations to the fifth graders who BECAME the historic figures they researched! In one classroom we had Joan of Arc, Henry I, and Queen Elizabeth! The oral and written reports shared last week were informative, and compelling! How many of us are going to want to delve deeper into the lessons of history?
