*Group Reports - Gavin's group reported on the pyramids.
*Fish Mummification - No joke! His class mummified six fish. Gavin said it was pretty gross, but interesting, too. He also built a wood sarcophagus to bury their fish in out in the school yard.
*Egpytian Life Report - Gavin did his report in a storybook format. He wrote a great story about the royal hunter chasing lions and rhinos. Every time he mentioned an animal (lion, rhino, cat or dog), he glued a picture of that animal we cut from our Cricut machine.
*Death Masks - Gavin didn't like being plastered, but enjoyed painting his mask when it was dry. He also wrote a very clever obituary about his Egyptian self dying.
All of this in addition to his normal schoolwork load. I'm so tired! I though I was done with sixth grade!
Our family was able to attend his performance of Temples & Tombs. The kids all dressed up as Egyptians and sang and danced for us. They did a great job!
Gavin and his best friend, Mummy Cayden. Notice the eye make-up on Gavin. He was a great sport about wearing it, even though his eyes almost watered it all off while I was applying it!
Gavin was one of the slaves who carried the Pharaoh (Principal Tucker) to the front of the gym. He is one of the strongest boys out of the entire sixth grade (freaky Fowler strength!).
Gavin has really enjoyed learning about Egypt, but is a bit relieved that he is done.

LOVE the make-up Gavin!! Looks like a lot of fun. sometimes I miss Elementary School.
I remember the other kids doing Temples and Tombs at Sego Lily. Valerie even had a pretty good Egyptian costume. What a lot of work, Gavin! You've learned a lot! We're so proud of you! These will be great memories for you to look back on. We love you!
