We are so glad families had the experience of visiting our Ancient Egypt Museum. It was wonderful to see our second graders proudly sharing their wealth of knowledge. While we look forward to our next unit of study, we have assured the students that they can continue to explore ancient Egypt on their own with their amazing research skills.
There is a special event taking place at the museum this weekend:
Egyptomania! takes over the Penn Museum
Saturday, March 21, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
It's a celebration of all things Egyptian at this World Culture Day. Egyptomania! brings the galleries to life with a variety of activities including hieroglyph workshops, Middle Eastern drumming and folk dancing, a “What in the World” artifact game—and short talks from renowned Penn Museum Egyptologists.
Perhaps there will be a rainy day over spring break when your child might enjoy this wonderful video, Building Pharaoh's Ship.
