CLASS DESCRIPTION: Give your child a first hand experience of history. In this co-op, the kids will choose a true life historical figure, dress as that person, and give a little talk to the rest of us telling about their life in the first person. (For instance, "My name is Cleopatra and I was born in...") Please also have your child add his or her interpretation of what this figure would think of our modern life.

This is NOT meant to be stressful, please do not spend a ton of money or freak the kids out about getting everything perfect. We’re just trying to give everyone a taste of the past with a little fun added in for interest!

We will also create a living timeline with all of the historical figures included, so be sure to bring a camera.
