The third through fifth grades just finished their final block on the Norse Myths. To top the final story, Ragnarok, I knew it had to be special, so Tami, a Hearthstone mom, offered to invite her neighbor Eric up for a chat with my students. It was much more than that, as you can see!
Erik, the Viking, came to Hearthstone on April 30, and gave a magnificent talk on Viking history and lore. The 3-12 grades attended the morning talk and were able to try on various metal helmets and chain mail, as well as see some authentic replicas of Viking treasures and weaponry found by archaeologists throughout the last few decades.
The students were very impressed and eager to learn more about their own heritages after the talk. Most of the children were convinced they had to be part Viking :) by the time recess rolled around.
