The children will be making their own cartouche using hieroglyphic symbols. A cartouche is a kind of nameplate that the Ancient Egyptians used for kings, queens, and other people in the kingdom. We will be reading Fun with Hieroglyphs by Catherine Roehrig. This rhyming book will teach symbols from A to Z as well as words and what they meant to the Egyptians.
We will begin learning to recite "The Moon" by Robert Louis Stevenson. A copy of the poem will be sent in their folders to practice at home.
