Egyptian Cartouches!

Student examples of cartouches.  Our students dyed these in tea to make them look authentic.  They then wrote their first and last names in hieroglyphics along with a design to represent ancient Egypt.  Fun!

World History Personal Timelines

Our World History classroom was learning how to make timelines with the BC/AD concept.  Our students created personal timelines where they used BMB/AMB (Before My Birth/After My Birth).  They brought family photos to school to create this project and then presented themselves to the classroom! 

Classroom Forts!

Our students researched the first permanent settlement in North America (Jamestown).  They learned how the colony narrowly became the first fort.  After learning about the settler hardships, they created forts of their own design using what they learned about Jamestown's geographical location.
