History fun

Last week for our history class we learned about monks and how they copied the Bible and other books. The would take great care to make the books very beautiful with drawing and intricate details. We talked about calligraphy and illuminations and then we tried it out ourselves. We even made quills and ink.

Here are the kids working on their drawings

I like to call Aiden's calligraphy "abstract" writing (lol!)
