Egypt Day






The Downstairs children spent Wednesday morning learning about Egypt as well as creating a diorama complete with pyramids and camels.  Christy's parents recently returned from a trip to Egypt and brought back some souviners for the classroom.  The children were able to see a Galabeya (traditional clothing for men) postcards and pictures of Christy's parents riding camels.  They were also able to practice writing their names in hieroglyphics with the help of stencils.  The morning was complete with dancing to "Walk like an Egyptian."
