Mrs. Berberian's fourth grade class at Garfield School is diving into Europe’s Middle Ages, and students are having fun bringing history to life! At the end of each chapter, anyone who answers our Medieval Musings trivia question correctly gets to choose a day to serve as our class king or queen. On their royal day, they wear a crown, are addressed as “His/Her Majesty,” and enjoy making special classroom decisions—just like a real monarch!
