I bid thee welcome, young historians!

                                                  

Last week we listened to Knight Karl Kindt talk about the importance of finding ways to live a good and honorable life today, in the year 2012. He spoke about how a medieval knight lived by a set of rules called a Code of Chivalry. How do people today know about knights that lived hundreds of years ago? Who's job is it to research people, places, things, and events that happened in the past?

Today begins our year long study of all things Medieval...today you begin a quest to learn as much as you can about this historical period, to think about how studying the past can help us in the present, and in what ways looking back can help us prepare for the future...
