Students embark on their journey through Egypt with a handbook! They learn of the geography, capital, and the Great Pyramid of Giza. They also know what to bring to survive the hot desert climate. After being introduced to Egypt by Mrs.Raborn, students watch a short video on some information about Egypt. They discover that Ancient Egypt was split into three kingdoms, that their paper was made from the papyrus plant, and that lucky children lived to see their 5th birthday! All of the students were thankful to live in our generation.
