Friday Class

On Friday, we reviewed a lot of things we had already gone over because of all the snow days. We talked about what the school is going to do about all of the days we have off and that the school is going to have to get creative because we aren't adding on to summer or taking off of spring break. The things we learned were more about Ancient Egypt and the evolution of their time. Mummification was one topic that really interested me. The Egyptians built pyramids made of marble that were beautiful. They were burial places for pharaohs and important people. Pharaohs were basically the rulers of the land that were considered partly a god. They were looked up to by the people. We learned that the Nile River flows south to north. That is very unusual for a river to flow in that direction. The Nile was important to the people because it provided water and transportation. Our test is on Tuesday so I have to study more of Ancient Egypt in order to do well.
