 Here, King Trevor is performing a Knighting Ceremony. 

A week ago, the sixth graders concluded their studies of the middle ages with a MIDDLE AGES FAIR.  Trevor was awarded the part of the king.  Trevor came home one day after practicing and said he had a really embarrassing part.  After asking him what it was, I found out that he had to pull out the chair for the Queen when they sat down for their feast!  A little practice would be a good thing, right?!  They had to come up with their own costumes and then give a presentation for each of the five first grade classrooms on the people of that time.  They did an awesome job and kept the first graders well entertained with stories of "their" life 1000 years ago!  After the presentations, they were given a ride on a "magic" bus that transported them over to Europe (middle school!) and served a feast that King Trevor invited them to.  While at the feast, the students were able to watch a duel, take part in the "fools" entertainment and a game of London Bridge with the Queen as well as listen to the "Royal Madrigal" (middle school madrigal singers).  What a great way to learn about the Middle Ages...to actually "live" it!
