Ancient Egyptian Day

Yesterday, Ross' PACE (aka Gifted) class showcased a year's worth of projects and study with Ancient Egyptian Day. Ross did a project on Mummies (see previous post). Of course on AED, Ross needed a mummy costume. It had to be something he could easily put on himself at school, look good and of course I wanted it to cheap and simple to make.

This is what I finally came up with: strips of unbleached cotton hot glued to a stained pair of school pants and a t-shirt with extra to wrap around his head and arms.


I intended to sew it but with Owen and Will around I just didn't have the time. I think this turned out pretty well.

Here are some more photos of my boys and Ancient Egyptian Day:


I hate pictures of me right now so there won't be another anytime soon.

Ross is so sweet with Owen.

They had food: fruit and hummus (yum).

Grapes please!

Owen loves watermelon too.

They played games.

And made art like bracelets...

Owen made a bracelet.

Some of their art work, very cool!

This is Ross' wonderful PACE teacher Mrs. Fox, we love her!

Some more of their projects, Ross' is on the far right.

Thank you Mrs. Fox and 5th grade PACE, we had a great time! (Oh, Will was there too, asleep in his stroller the whole time, yeah!)
