SOTW V1 Ch5 Sumerian Dictator

I had to search for things to do with this chapter. Books that we read were You wouldn't want to be a sumerian slave, The Golden Sandal and The Three Princes. The cool thing was at dinner Mac was talking to her dad about how she didn't want to be a slave back then and what they had to do so I know she's getting it. I had her make a ziggurat out of legos (once again so excited...)  The playdough was a hit even if making the Sumerian Seal wasn't at first.

Very creative, made a seal of slaves carrying a king.

SOTW V1 Ch4 Old Kingdom of Egypt

The infamous week started where we learned about mummies and pyramids- yes that means we were going to mummify something. We read lots of books about mummification (Mummies Made in Egypt, Best Book of Mummies, I Am the Mummy Heb Nefert) and used this week to make it come to life. Also played the snake game. http://www.newbeehomeschooler.com/apps/blog/show/25932791-free-ancient-egyptian-printable-game-ancient-civilization-unit

Started out making a lifesize sarcophogi. This got the point across and Brog got to join in too.

Mummy hot dogs- a big hit!

Even turned a dice game into building a pyramid

 Mike brought this lovely bird he shot all the way from Kansas for us. Can't you tell how excited Mac was to do this project!

 Have to spice it up

And it's mummified. Only took about five minutes. Maybe not the most realistic but got the point across.
