Geography

This weeks geography is the Egyptian Empire.  Here is a fun way to combine art and geography!

Build the Egyptian empire out of sugar cubes, construction paper, and straws

  

We enjoy the Magic Treehouse books.  There is a fiction and nonfiction book about Egypt

Science

I like these sorting cards.  A simple sorting activity might be fun for all of the kids this week.

Science Experiment

Here is a video of this weeks science experiment.  Watch it with your kids after our school day and see what they remember.
