I am so behind on getting back to you on your question about Reformation Day costume ideas – we have had lots of company over the last few weeks. I know it is too late this year but I thought I would recommend some good books that you could be on the lookout for to use next year. The first was a bit pricey but well worth it: ‘A Night of Reformation’ by Pam Forster. She shares some very simple ideas for costumes and the book is loaded with great ideas for celebrating and studying the Reformation in depth. The other book that I really liked for some cute period craft, food and costume idea to make is called ‘The Days of Knights and Damsels’ by Laurie Carlson (in fact she has a lot of great historical activity books). I found this one at our library and used many ideas from it.

I also wanted to thank you again for another great book recommendation – ‘Alternatives to Worksheets’ is awesome! I have been inspired to bring so much of these ideas into our school and my kids can’t quit looking through it as well! They were so excited with the ideas that they have started many projects from it all on their own accord! ( : Just wanted to say thanks again for another great book recommendation.

Warmly,
