The class is having a great time learning about Egypt. Two of thye students in our class have taught us some arabic words. I will be sending a shee home with those words soon.
we have also studied about the Nile river and learned why it is so important to the people of Egypt.
Next week students will learn how to play a board game from Egypt. I hope to have some new photos up very soon. sincerely,

Dear Parents,
Wanted you to know that as a special treat Ms. O'Brien has arranged for our class to visit an Italian bakery on Monday. The children will be able to sample some gelato and buy some italian bread. Forms for the trip are coming home today so please sign them and send them back tomorrow so your child can join us on this trip. We will be walking to the bakery since it is only a few blocks from the school.
In other news, our class has moved on to learning about Egypt and they are very excited. We talked a bit about the land and it's people and also about the process of making mummies. The children are very interested and can not wait to learn more about this country.
Please enjoy our book about Italy that is coming home for all to see. Please comment if you want to. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely,
Mrs. Phillips
