Marcus and Ancient Egypt

One of Marcus’ most loved topics to hear and read about is the Egyptians. Marcus doesn't remember when this interest in Ancient Egypt began, but I’m glad that he enjoys history (being a history major myself!).  There aren’t a lot of Christian home school groups here in Utah, but I was able to get in contact with one. I found they have a co-op that meets a couple days a week and each class has no more than twelve students or so. Last year when I saw the schedule that they offered a class on Ancient Egypt for fourth and fifth graders one day a week I thought, “Perfect! “ Marcus was starting fourth grade this year and he loves this history topic. So, I signed him up for the class and he has absolutely loved it! It has been so fun for me to see all the different projects he has made from turning a stuffed monkey into a mummy, building a pyramid with sugar cubes, making Egyptian paper, making a Nile River replica with grass growing around the river, and more! I know I could not do all that myself as his teacher at home-I know my limitations! I admit I struggle in the whole art related to a school subject project. A great big thank you from me to his teacher, who has added so much to Marcus’ knowledge and interest in Ancient Egypt.
