Visit a Real Egyptian Tomb (almost) in the Middle School

It was dark inside and full of artifacts!Our fifth grade tour guides (who in my case were dressed as an archeologist and an ancient Egyptian), explained the purpose behind each ancient game, mummy, god, belief, and tradition on display in the tomb, as they guided visitors around with a flashlight. They spoke with confidence and authority, and were so proud of the huge project they had created through collaboration.

Our fourth graders who attended are certainly looking forward to the integrated social studies that awaits them next year. In another room, visitors could try ancient crafts such as beaded jewelry which they learned was worn by both men and women; or writing their own name in hieroglyphs.

Definitely an experience! Tomorrow, Founder’s Day, will be as well.
