Renaissance Fair

Andrew's grade held a Renaissance fair at the school.  I didn't quite know what that meant so Ally and V and I went down to the school to support Andrew and see what it was all about.  He did art so I was excited to see what he did.  They had all the families sit in chairs and then brought each group in to showcase what they did/learned during their Renaissance study. 

Andrew's group came out and basically just pointed to the back of the room where their art was displayed.  They had a group that memorized Shakespeare come out and perform, another group that sang some songs and then our favorite, the maypole dance.

Ally and V, all right, who am I kidding, and I were all in awe of how the ribbons made a colorful braid all just by the way the kids were walking around the pole.  It was really pretty. 

Andrew's artwork consisted of a stain glass window and a fruit basket.

And then the best part of the fair (according to the kids) pie!

It was a lot of fun.  I like that the school does these little events throughout the year to showcase what the kids are learning.
