Ancient Egypt Museum

We have
some great looking projects to show off in our Ancient Egypt
Museum! Our students (and
parents) did a great job researching and preparing, and tomorrow is the day to
show the world. We’d like to invite family and friends to visit our class tomorrow, October 31
anytime between 9:30 and 11:30 AM. 

Also, we
will celebrate all our hard work tomorrow afternoon with some fun activities
and snacks. Please send snacks in their store-bought packaging for students to
share with the class.

Thanks
again for all your hard work. See you tomorrow
