Ancient Egyptian Papyrus

One of the greatest and biggest benefits of schooling at home is the opportunity to do all those fun activities to extend the learning process.  As a classroom teacher you desire to do these things but know that time, resources, opportunity, and truly the ability to achieve success with a room full of students is nearly impossible so you usually have to pass.  I knew we were studying Ancient Egypt in history so during our last visit to the library I checked out several books on Egypt.  One book in particular was chockful of not only incredible information but also projects.  I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!  And lucky for me it looks like it is a part of a series.  So, here are the girls making "papyrus" and then using "berry ink" to depict ancient Egyptian hieroglphys and aspects of ancient Egyptian culture.
