Medieval Times Class Party:
In addition to the slide show, we will be having a Medieval Times class party in which you are required to research and bring in a
medieval treat for the class. You will have to research an appropriate treat that can be recreated for our own party. You may work
with a partner to bring in this snack. This will not work unless you are responsible for your part in this project. Ms. Merkel and Ms.
Tame are excited to be with you and listen to your research and have a Medieval Day! I don’t know about you, but I will be in a
medieval costume for our day together!
