The End of Ancient Egypt!

We have finally completed our Ancient Egypt unit. This was such a fine period to study! Jayden has learned about mummies, pyramids, several pharaohs, some new vocabulary, and more!

He created a postcard from our History Pockets for his friend Owen.

It says: "Dear Owen, I have been learning about Ancient Egypt. They used to make mummies. Mummies were made to preserve bodys for the After Life. King Tuts father had never been found. I am going to find him.     From Jayden" with a picture of himself alongside a miniature pyramid.


We took a trip down the Nile River and learned about the life that flourished there. Then we created a little map with our History Pockets pages.

Caitlin decided she wanted to join us for Egyptian puppet making, so they both made puppets.
 

And finally, we made a 3d pyramid that had facts about the Great Pyramid built in Giza on every side of it.
We absolutely loved learning about Ancient Egypt, but we are definitely excited to move on and see what is next!
