Middle Ages Tournament! Oh My!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!  All subjects of the Land of Robbins and Land of Barrutia are hereby challenged to attend a tournament in honor of the 4^th Grade Kingdom Xavier! This tournament will take place Tuesday, December 11^th at 6:00 p.m.

 This year we will be doing something different for our winter showcase.   Instead of the traditional winter program, we wanted to showcase something a little bit different this year.  Xavier is such a unique school and the students work so hard in all aspects of their experience at Xavier, so we wanted to showcase something truly special about the 4^th grade!   Both classes will be doing a cumulating activity on our Middle Ages unit in the evening for parents to participate with their students.  Students will come as lords, ladies, and knights to participate in the activities we have planned!  There will be jousting, archery, needlework, ballads, dancing, singing and of course a feast.  The costumes can be very simple or elaborate, depending upon your desire.  I will send home an easy way to create a Middle Ages outfit so all students can be in costume.  Parents may appear as serfs, tournament officials or common people of the kingdom to assist and observe at the tournament!  Following is a link to a  Google Document for you to sign-up to help us as we prepare for this grand event:

 We held our first tournament last year and it was so much fun, the only drawback was that many parents were unable to participate due to work schedules.  I think this will be very enjoyable for student and parent alike!  Thank you so much for your willingness to help us out, without you this event would not be possible!
