Today was our last day to work on our time lines.
If we don't have them done we won't be able to go to volley ball tomorrow.

During our study of the middle ages I learned two things, 1) all about the steps to become a knight!! :P the first was a page, second step was a squire, and the third step was a knight. 2) What knights did in their spare time ex. They had plays, played music, danced, sang, children played tag, chess and checkers!

My one question is... Is the church now as powerful as it was back then? I hope you enjoyed reading our blog!!! :D

Today we worked on our time lines during class. They are due Thursday. Do them neat because we will be having an open book test on them sometime soon. Something interesting that I learned about the Middle Ages is that the Middle Ages got its name because it is between the time of the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. I also learned that Medieval monks spent many hours illustrating books by hand. This writing was called Illuminated Manuscripts. I would like to learn whether the Black Death still exists today. If so, does it still kill as many people as it did during the Middle Ages?

Welcome back to our Blog:)

At the beginning of September we started to learn about the Middle Ages. It was lots of fun. We watched three movies. We had a Medieval Feast. The boys made shields, and the girls made hats. Did you know that back then some of the fashion included woman shaving their foreheads. At our feast we dressed up. The boys wore tights, and the girls wore dresses. We ate salad, stew, cheese, garlic sausage, and dumplings. We ate out of bread bowls, and only ate with knives. It was difficult! We had our test and right now we are working on our Modern World Time line.

The time line is due Thursday, October 29th, 2009.

Happy Halloween!!
