MEDIEVAL ART AND HEALING

Finally!  The long-awaited field trip with my Summit 7/8th graders!  I arranged for them to visit the MSU Art Museum to see their small collection of Medieval art.  Here, the students are looking at the Undergrad Exhibit - some of which was not precisel what I wish they'd seen.... But, they were clearly having fun. 

After the art museum, we went to a nearby tea shop run by a parishioner - they are experts on tea - including its history, and we were given a wonderful presentation (with a tasting!) of many teas which would have been used for medicinal purposes in Medieval times. It was fascinating!
