Mrs. Brice’s 4th grade students celebrated the end of Unit 2, Part 1 — The Middle Ages in Europe — with a day full of hands-on learning and fun! Students enjoyed a medieval feast, designed their own coat of arms, and watched Shrek to compare elements of the movie to life during the Middle Ages. It was the perfect way to bring history to life and celebrate all they’ve learned about castles, knights, and medieval society! ⚔️👑🍞
