The current period of time Izzy's 6th grade class is studying is ancient Egypt. The students were given two choices for their social studies project for this section; recreate a Egyptian tomb or novel Egyptian god. Izzy tried the create an Egyptian god but was quickly dismayed by the level of details she needed to write about. Therefore she quickly turned her attention towards creating a tomb. Victoria was game to allow Ken to be mummified but paced around while he was wrapped up like a nervous mother.
Izzy then spend her week painting, cutting, sculpting, and writing. We stopped by Michael's and were tickled that there was one, and only one, tube of Egyptian trinkets which she readily used. My job was to orchestrate a pyramid top without obscuring what was inside her tomb. Lots of tape and spray paint later, Izzy had her Egyptian tomb done just in time for the project deadline. She came home ecstatic as no one else created a pyramid and that she received many complements from teachers and classmates. Now we simply wait to see how her project is graded. She's hoping that she receives the maximum points (100) as her grade in social studies is not the strongest. Her social studies class is reported to be the hardest class for the entire 6th grade.
