21/22 - History, Social Studies, & Geography
Activities:
Made canals out of playdough to learn how the ancient Egyptians watered their crops.
All the kids made models of the first machine, a shaduf, out of sticks and yogurt cups.
Together with my help, Austen and Chase cooked and enjoyed an Egyptian meal with flatbread and hummus, dolmados, salatet zabadi (a yogurt dish similar to tzaziki), and a traditional soup made with lentils, quinoa, peppers, tomatoes, and raisins, with lemon ginger tea.
