Today at Collin's school the 4th grade had a Medieval Banquet. They started by calling all the guests by name as they entered the room. They've each had a part in society while they've studied the Medieval ages. The serfs and peasants for example have had to get out and put away the text books when it's time to study, they also helped clean up the feast today when it was over. Collin has been a knight and sometime a few weeks ago was knighted in a ceremony that I also went to. The picture below is preparing for the dance they performed today. Some of the kids are dressed as Lords, even a few performed as court jesters, musician, poet, and juggler.
The food consisited of chicken drumsticks, bread, cheese, grapes, apples, and grape juice. Way to go room moms for making this a fantastic event!
These are the two fourth grade teachers Mr. (King) Wendling and Ms. (Queen) Jensen.
These are the knights preparing for the joust. Two points if you hit the noodle to the chest, one point to the helmet. Collin lost his shield in the joust so his opponent won. How is that possible when Collin has been practicing since he was born? Before today school has been, well, school. Today it was a great experience to remember forever. If it could only be like this more often. Thank you to Mr. Wendling and all the parents for making it happen!

what a fun thing to do! I bet he will always remember that.
That is so fun. You should take him to one of those real life mediveal feasts where you eat with your hands and watch a show. In Vegas or something.
