March 7-11

The 4th grade group continued its study of Ancient Egypt, doing a  
great job of reading aloud and completing related in-class exercises.  
One of these was for students to write in their notebooks "how the  
Hyksos conquered the Egyptians?" Students also began to assess the New  
Kingdom by way of a poem, drawing, essay, or song (as they chose).

To recognize this week's ruling in the Hague on the San Juan River  
dispute, 4th graders were tasked to use a resource created by the  
teacher and an article to summarize on the board either the position  
of Nicaragua or Costa Rica, or to record facts about the International  
Court of Justice.

The highlight of the week was when students engaged in a game invented  
by the Ancient Egyptians; tug-of-war.
