'14/15 Week 13 Day 5

Our whole morning was dedicated to the ancient Egypt. Saara finished her studies of this time and place, and before moving on to the next chapter, we decided to celebrate the accomplishment with some cake. In addition to the cake, Saara did a craft, a demonstration, completed a quiz, and played a game on the computer. Both kids enjoyed it so much!

We are ready to begin!

First, the double crown. Saara explained to me the history behind it, and she told me also about the other crowns the pharaoh used.

Saara demonstrating the flooding of the Nile River. She also told me about the importance of the river in the lives of the ancient Egyptians.

One of the internet activities Saara did. It was a quiz about the mummification process.

After mummifying a general and playing Howard Carter discovering Tut's tomb on-line, we finished our class eating a pyramid.
