The 4th graders just wrapped up an exciting unit on Europe in the Middle Ages! They engaged in fun and creative projects like crafting dioramas of various medieval houses, designing “stained glass” art, and writing thoughtful reflections about the roles they’d choose in medieval society. It’s been a fantastic journey through history!
