Egypt Days

Every year P.T.A sponsors a study of a country. This year we went to Egypt. Social studies, art, reading, science, math, writing and technology were integrated. Map skills of Africa were studied. The Egyptian Cinderella was read. We made picture frames with our names written in Arabic and we decorated them with jewels. These were our Mother’s Day gifts. In math we solved words problems about ancient pyramids. We also made pyramids and decorated them with Egyptian symbols.

The Egyptian Restaurant

In Egypt they served us mango juice and a cookie, beans and soft bread. Also, they served a different kind of bread with a fig filling in it. We did not eat on the floor, but we ate at a table like we do in Alabama. We got Egyptian bookmarks that have mummies and Egyptian people and Egyptian writing.

My favorite part about our trip to Egypt was when we ate at the Egyptian café. I loved the Egyptian rocks. The colors of the rocks were purple and white. I ate Egyptian beans and Egyptian bread.

After we got off the plane, we went to the café. At the café we ate a tortilla, beans and an Egyptian cookie and mango juice. The cookie tasted like a graham cracker. In the café they had pyramids and Egyptian clothes. I liked the tortilla and the beans the best.

When we went to the restaurant I could see and taste many things. I tasted beans, bread, bread dipped in beans, a graham cracker, a cookie, and mango juice. I could see the decorations and all the food. It was very, very fancy. It all tasted good.

On the Egyptian trip we went to a restaurant. We ate beans, bread and we got two cookies. It was really fun and we got to look at jewelry .The beans tasted like chili. The bread was taco bread. I dipped it in the beans. It tasted spicy to me. I liked the cookies. One cookie tasted like a sugar cookie. It was a little bit hard and soft together. We drank
mango juice. It was orange/red and thick.
