When in Rome, do as the Romans do!!

Reese's class has been studying Roman history this year. He has absolutely loved every second of it. History is his 'thing' he will say and Rome is his favorite. To end the unit the teacher had a celebration of Rome party. She had the room decorated like the Colosseum, the kids dress up as Roman God's, gladiators, or soldiers, had the slaves (parents) bring Roman food and serve them,

they performed "Androcles and the Lion", had to purchase their dinner by bartering (the women) and the men discussed legal matters... It was amazing!!! The kids had to bring pillows, rest on their left arm and eat with their fingers just like they would have in Rome. Reese had a wonderful time and I did too! I am amazed with the incredible things that take place at our school. His teacher is wonderful and when I ask Reese each day how his day at school was, he answers saying, "it was the best day ever." Love it!!!!
