Ancient Egyptians

Georgia has been reading about the Ancient Egyptians. In the book Spend the Day in Ancient Egypt: Projects and Activities That Bring the Past to Life by Linda Honan she learned how to make an Ankh necklace. She made one out of Sculpey.

She watched some videos at HowStuffWorks.com on the Ancient Egyptians, the Nile, the Pyramids, Egyptian mythology, Ancient Egyptian farmers, Heiroglyphs, and Papyrus.

She made a pyramid from construction paper using a template at Crayola.com.

She learned more about mummies from the BBC's Mummy Maker, and from the book Mummies!.

She learned more about the Pyramids, mythology, and the geography of ancient Egypt from the BBC's Pyramid Builder Challenge.

At BrainPop.com she watched videos on Egyptian Pharoahs, Mummies, and the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

We read the Secret Name of Ra by Anne Rowe, Temple Cat by Andrew Clements, Ancient Egyptian Art by Susie Hodge, and I Wonder Why Pyramids Were Built and Other Questions About Ancient Egypt by Philip Steele.


We still have more library books and websites to check out, and more projects to do.
