Hello!

 

Medieval Faire invitations were sent home today.  On Friday, January 13 from 12:30 - 2:30, we will hold our faire in the cafeteria.  The day will include a Medieval Feast (this will be our lunch for the day) and station activities run by the students to teach others about a particular aspect of the Middle Ages.  Parents are encouraged to attend.  I have attached an electronic copy of the invitation in case your child forgets to show you the paper copy.  An e-mail from some of our room parents will be coming shortly for you to sign up to donate items for our Medieval feast and/or volunteer at the faire.  Many, many thanks to Mrs. Parkison, Mrs. Brooks, and Mrs. Mills for organizing much of this for us!

 

The other attached documents are related to the station activity that groups of students will prepare to teach others about their assigned topics.  Students are completing research now, and are beginning the planning stages of the station activity.  Students will have an opportunity to prepare their station materials in social studies class and in their homeroom classes after winter break.  Students were encouraged to discuss their station activities with parents for ideas and resources that you may have tucked away and they don't know about:)  I will be checking for a parent signature on the planning document after the winter break.

 

Students (and parents) are encouraged to dress up as a Medieval character, but this is NOT required.  We discussed several options on how to keep this as inexpensive as possible.  Students could make costumes from materials that they have at home, or can borrow costumes, etc.  It is NOT necessary to purchase a new costume for the faire.  With a little creativity, station activity materials and costumes could made inexpensively or free with materials that you have at home.  Below are a few websites with ideas on how to inexpensively create costumes.  Please let me know if you come across any great websites with ways to make inexpensive costumes.

This will be a fun and exciting day!  As always, thank you so much for your support of our projects.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I hope to see you at the Medieval Faire!  Enjoy your winter break!

 

Take care,

Stephanie Scarpinato
