Guild Day

We are finishing up a unit on the Renaissance period at Mia's school.
We have learned so much (especially me!). We've read about Da Vinci,
Michelangelo and all about the crafts and arts of that time period.
Today was Guild Day. The kids all dressed in Renaissance clothing (thank you, Ashton!)
and were able to visit different guilds and work as apprentices in each guild.
This first picture is of some of the daddies who took off an hour from work to help at the woodworking guild. Sweet Daddy, we love you.

These are my two little Chick-Fil-A apprentices.
They were precious angels the entire time we were there.

Here's Mia at the glass making guild. This table had some awesome
activities. They were making designs with Jolly ranchers on parchment paper.
Then they baked them in the oven and it made what looked just like stained glass.
Kindergarten Sunday school...be prepared, this craft is coming your way soon.

Here's the engraving guild...Mia had already been here when I got there.

Here they are being taught how to make hacky sacks with balloons and birdseed.

The weaving guild. Mia's sweet friend Anna Katherine.

The bakery and brewery guild. So neat!
They made a yeast dough, and then moved over to the brewery.
Don't worry Grammy, it was just club soda mixed with their choices of jello mix.

The printing and writing guild. Here Mia is making a precious
Bible with verses and her own designs in it.

There are my sweet girls.

The Bakery Guild again.
The volunteers really taught a lot about how bakers worked and made money, not always so honestly, apparently.

The Brewery. So funny.

At the brewery still and the lady is giving them beef jerky.
Mia passed on that.
