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.

Plane Ride to Egypt


On the plane ride to Egypt, we could see a TV screen, hear different sounds, taste cookies and water, feel the hard crisp of the cookie. When you bit into the cookie, it fell in your hand like sand. The sounds were the man talking on the movie and the orchestra music.

The snack on the plane did not taste good. The cookies in the restaurant tasted like sugar cookies. I liked them! The beans were okay. I dipped the bread in the beans. The taco bread and the beans were kind of good. I loved the plane ride.

My favorite part was the plane ride. I could see, hear, smell, and taste many things. I heard the movie, I saw the movie, and I tasted the fig cookie and water. Then we pretended we landed in Egypt. The stewardess said we arrived in Egypt. Last we got off the plane and the stewardess stamped our passport.

On the way to Egypt, we watched a movie. We drank water and ate a snack. The snack was a fig cookie and I didn’t like it. When we got off the plane, they stamped our passports.

I liked it when they gave us a snack and water too. They put a movie on and made us listen to a radio. They talked in English and Egyptian. That was a fun day. Yes it was!

I bet the plane ride was long; to fly to Egypt takes a long time and you get very tired of sitting!

I love your Egyptian collars. I wonder if they were hard to make and decorate.

Ask your teacher if she has ever seen this WebQuest on Egypt. http://www.iwebquest.com/egypt/ancientegypt.htm
It is one of my favorites. Once when my class was learning about Egypt we mummified a chicken! Very cool.

I have enjoyed reading your blog.
