Reading Reflection
Welcome Back,
Alex!
community! We are all so thrilled for you to be a member of the Fox Den!
start of pharaonic rule in Egypt. But first, students will establish a timeline reflecting the thousands of years
separating ancient Egypt from today. Later in the week, we will don our archaeologist caps as we examine artifacts
featured in exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. I was lucky
enough to visit both museums over the break, and am very excited to share these incredible photographs with this group
of young historians. Students will keep a field journal in order to document their observations. Our analysis will help
students gain a better understanding of what these artifacts reveal about the culture from which they came.
Fictional Tales
This week, students will continue their fictional tales, drawing inspiration
from Chris Van Allsburgs illustrations. Van Allsburgs
