Learning about Egypt

This month in school we are learning all about Egypt. Most of the geography we are studying is centered around the Nile river. As part of her activities craft we got to make "salt dough" or playdough. Jade shaped her's into a map of egypt, filling in mountain ranges, pyramids and part of the Nile, Red Sea and a bit of the Mediterranean. 

 After her salt map dried, I she got to paint it and mark what each part was.

Then, the homeschoolers at our church, just so happened to organize a field trip to the Pacific science center that was doing an exhibit on King Tut! The same week we were learning all about King Tut! We weren't aloud to take pictures in the exhibit, so here we are outside before and after, enjoying the lovely day. 

oh, and enjoying some large as life chess play. I think Jade won;)
