After finishing their drawings that depicted an aspect of the Ancient
Egyptian New Kingdom, 4th graders worked on an Ancient Egypt
"scavenger hunt" in which they had to complete a chart. The chart
consisted of key roles in Egyptian society (Pharaoh, noble, farmer,
craftsman, woman, priest, soldier). Students--who were given a sheet
with information on one of these roles--had to complete their chart by
exchanging information with their classmates.
After finishing the text of Chapter 2, 4th graders squared off in a
review game. Classes were split into two teams, with students being
called on to respond to questions about the chapter. Students were
generally engaged in the review game, which also included questions on
current events issues and on Chapter 1.
One 4th grade class completed In-Class Work #2, leaving two other classes
before the 4th grade group as a whole tackles another current events activity.
The 4th grade will subsequently begin its study of The Fertile Crescent.
