Mrs. Higginbotham's second graders learned about their Olympic country when Ms. Lovell's first period class spent the morning teaching the eager students about the geography and culture of Egypt. During their second grade visit, the Middle School history students displayed posters illustrating symbols of the Egyptian alphabet to describe the ancient writings of hieroglyphics. They discussed the cities, the Nile River, pyramids and other interesting facts. Egyptian headdresses were modeled to explain the attire of the historical time-period. The students gave demonstrations in stone transportation and mummification, concluding with a piece of a beautiful mummy-shaped cake.
