Jean-François was a seeker of knowledge. One way he was a seeker is he tried to figure out the language of Hieroglyphs even when other people told him he could not. One day he got a package from a friend who lived in Egypt.  The text states, "In it were the names of pharaohs* copied from a temple wall. Each name was a jigsaw puzzle of letters and pictures. Jean-François studied the names and saw the link!" He replied the pictures were syllables not just sounds. thoth,(the god of writing) followed by the letters m and s to figure out the pharaoh's name Thothmes! This shows that Jean figured out hieroglyphs before anyone else because he was a seeker of knowledge.  

This week on February 28-March1st, the Fourth and Fifth graders will be showing the play Summer Camp! The Musical! The musical is 40 minutes long, there are 7 songs, and the camp is called Camp Runamock. In an interview, we talked to Charlie Sherman, who is a camper. He has one line, and his favorite song is the "Morning Routine". When I asked Charlie his favorite part of the play he said, "I really liked the t-shirts!" He is happy because there will be a cast list of the people who are in the musical at the front office. The play is on February 28 at 6:30pm and on Saturday, March 1st at 12:00pm in the Glover cafeteria! Go check it out!
