Sarah's Roman Days

 Sarah's 3rd grade class had Roman Days to celebrate the end of their unit.  It lasted 2.5 hours (wow! were the parents tired at the end) and her class did a great job.  They had a recitation to begin and then they were statues that came to life when you pushed a button on their project and they told you all about their specific topic. 
 Sarah's topic was Roman Mythology.  She is standing by her project waiting for someone to push her button.

 At the end of the statue time there was a Roman feast.  They reclined on their left side (or were suppose) on pillows and ate authentic Roman food.  Man was it disgusting!!  The kids were brave and tried most of it but just smelling some of the stuff made me want to vomit (I'm not kidding--I made the rolls and these are their ingredients: grape juice, yeast, grated cheese, anise and cumin seeds, shortening, and wheat flour.  Gross!)
 These 4 girls love to hang out--Sarah, Makayla, Emma, Savannah

 Love that face!  She didn't want me to take another picture.
At the end the class performed Androcleas and the Lion and a Christmas song they learned.  Sarah was very glad to get out of her toga but she did a great job and now only 1 day left of school this year!
