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.

Hunting for Treasure


The day we hunted for treasure I found rings, gold, jewels and stones. The stones were blue, green, white, purple, pink, light green, light blue, lime green, orange, yellow and dark blue. I felt a lot of sand and I also felt a lot of stones, rings, jewels and gold. When we found three things, they gave us a bag to put them in. I found more than 30 things. The rings were gold, also the gold was real gold, and the jewels were the same color as the stones.

I found some treasures during our treasure hunt. Then I found some gold and it was real gold. What I found was a coin and three rings. Last we saw how many gold coins we had found and it was a lot of gold. Then we went to crafts.

We went to Egypt Wednesday May 10. My favorite station was the treasure hunt. I found rings and jewelry but the guy said if you find the human bone you have to put it back. He said in Egypt it is against the law to keep the human bone.

The day we went to the treasure hunt, I felt a lot of sand everywhere. The sand was cold. We were looking for stones, rubies, rings, and gold. I think I found 20 in all. The stones were different shapes and colors. The person said there were human bones in the sand but I did not find any.

It was like another day except we were going to Egypt. It was going to be a great day. My favorite thing was the treasure hunt. We found all kinds of things like rings, coins, and blue pebbles. I found a rock that had rainbow colors in it like: orange, blue, red, purple and brown. We saw pebbles and coins in the sand. We heard the rain.

Wow! Treasure hunts are one of
my favorite things to do for my
grandchildren. I've never been
on an Egyptian treasure hunt.
I'm glad you didn't find a human
bone.

Wow, a treasure hunt! It sounds like your visit to Egypt was a fun trip. The treasure hunt sounds like it was very exciting. As well as the mummy wrap. I bet the mummy wrap was Mrs. Greer's favorite. You all did a great job on the blog.

I had as much fun as you did! Egypt was awesome! I loved the same things you loved! My favorite was the mummy! My class rolled me into a mummy and I thought I would never get free. I enjoyed your articles. They were very interesting.
