Our house is turning into knight battle ground.
The boys and I are going to spend the next few weeks studying the age of Knights and Castles. Many battles will be fought as they play out this high interest era of history.
To start the adventure, we read the book Adventures in the Middle Age. This helped the boys get an overview of the age of knights and castles. They were also able to pull out 3 major themes that we will be learning about more in depth over the next few months. Knights, castles and peasants are the big themes. Both boys will read many books, create word webs and many art projects. Bryce is very excited about making costumes to hopefully wear to the Renaissance Festival in the fall.
All three boys, loved that we were able to read Defend the Castle. Then start building. For three days, they worked hard and built the entire Lion Kingdom and the Dark Dragon Wizard kingdom. Bryce added up all the pieces, 1749 legos were assembled by the boys. I put together the medieval village. The plan is for the boys to use these legos to show what they are learning through out this adventure.
Building is hard work.

The knights seem to be enjoying the jester show.
The Dragon Wizard army is ready to attack.

My 7 yo says to tell your boys their Legos are "awesome."
