Week 1: Curtain Rises on Egypt: Gift of the NIle

This week the boys made maps of their own made up countries showing geographical features.  I'm afraid they got a little carried away with the decorations but they had a great time nonetheless.

Cameron's map with geographical features labeled.  Some of the licorice is river and the rest is bridges.  As the project went on there were wars between the mainland and the islands.







Damiens country was covered in snow and mountains .





 



We also made Egyptian paddle dolls which took a couple of weeks.  Damien got distracted from the instructions and ended up making his own creation.  Cameron was very careful to follow the pattern in  the book and is very proud of his work.
