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.

Pyramids and a Belly Dancer

We went to Egypt. We had a treasure hunt and we got to keep the treasures, too. After that, we went to eat in the lunchroom. A belly dancer danced for us! We loved how she danced!! She had a lovely gold, sparkly outfit. She liked my outfit because it looked like Egypt. I said “Thank you!”

When I was at Egypt I went to a pyramid. We heard on the news that my teacher was kidnapped and taken there. So Tucker, Chad, and Hannah and I went to rescue her. When we got there, we went inside. It smelled yuck and all I could see was darkness it felt sandy. Finally, we found a case. We opened it and there she was. We unwrapped her and went to the treasure hunt.

Dear Montanna,

I wish I knew how to belly dance! The dancer is beautiful. Did you try to copy her moves later when you got home? I am trying to imagine what *your* outfit looked like. I bet it was beautiful.

I look forward to reading more.
