Mrs. Ochoa’s Class Holds a Medieval Fair:
To supplement their learning of the Medieval time period, students in the 4th grade developed items which might have existed during medieval times. The students even dressed up and “sold” their wares to students in other grades.
Felicity Baldera, Faith Peeler and Kinley Lowery sell their wares at the Medieval Fair.
Dalton Alford watches as Evan Clifton demonstrates the Trebuchet he built for the Medieval Fair.
