Ancient Egypt

 This week we began a block on Ancient Egypt. For reasons that escape me now, I didn't get to this last year with Grace so the girls are working on it together this year. Monday we worked on a map of Egypt, yesterday was all about farms, cities (and city-states) and the Nile, and today the focus was on papyrus, hieroglyphics and some foods the ancient Egyptians would have eaten! 

Can you figure out the words that Emma wrote?!

For lesson snack, they had dates, fig jam (since we couldn't find fresh figs and honey. The dates were a bigger hit than I thought they'd be! xo
