This week we closed out our unit on Ancient Egypt by learning about various Egyptian leaders, including King Tut, Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Djoser and Sneferu. We watched part of Egypt, Engineering an Empire to see the evolution of the first "step pyramid" to the Great Pyramid.
In Writing Workshop, we were busy creating our first drafts of our "seed" stories. To help us get started, we examined the leads of numerous mentor texts we've shared this year, including Thunder Cake, by Patricia Polacco, Sunshine Home, by Eve Bunting, and Strong to the Hoop, by John Coy.
