We will discuss the nine pharaohs of Egypt we have in our foldables focusing on what they did in history to make them stand out in our textbooks. Students will use a short quiz on Tuesday to show off their new vocabulary and knowledge of the Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt. Friday will be a Social Studies Notebook check and review for Monday's test.
Homeroom: Please wrap and label gifts sent to school for our Christmas Family.
