This week we have been studying about the ancient Egyptian pyramids. It has been so fascinating, especially for Avery. This afternoon, she wanted to search the library for books on ancient Egyptian mummy's because she wanted to learn more.
Earlier today we had an activity to make a small pyramid out of sugar cubes. The girls had a great time constructing their pyramid and even made up a pretend Pharaoh that was buried in their pyramid. His name is Pugnacious, because he loves to fight. (Pugnacious is the word of the week because it is an English derivative of their Latin vocabulary word Pugno). I was amazed that they came up with that on their own. I certainly had no idea what Pugnacious meant when I was in 2nd & 3rd grade!
Taylor just finished reading a book about Johnny Appleseed. Since it is harvest season, we decided to do an apple craft to decorate our classroom. I found this cute Johnny Appleseed craft on Teachers Pay Teachers. I have found so many helpful ideas on that website!
