Hayley with her cartouche.  She brought in some papyrus from home to share with the class!
The first graders are studying and creating art based on the art of Ancient Egypt.  They got to use clay to create some golden artifacts like scarabs and a cartouche.  We read about Egyptian gods and goddesses, found common symbols in a variety of paintings, investigated the differences between papyrus and our own paper, and wrote some messages in hieroglyphics.  It has been a lot of fun!
