It’s TOMB TIME!!!
Ancient Egyptian Artifact
We have been hard at work on our tomb preparations. All of the fifth graders are doing research, creating artifacts and preparing for a role as a tour guide. One of the artifacts will be created at home. Students have a project planning sheets and most of them have directions for completing the artifact. The artifact is due Tuesday, March 8th. Students made a plan in their calendar for completing the project on time. The amount of time spent on this project will vary; some of the projects may need adult assistance.
Below is more information about the day of the tomb. Your child will bring home the sign-up sheet today.
