France and Egypt

Started off this week with an "emergency substitute." Thanks to Kirsti, I was able to drive my 2 year-old down to urgent care where he received 5 stitches- and it all happened during PM class on Monday.

This week we visited France and Egypt.
While learning about France, we looked at pictures of museums, castles, cathedrals and of course, the Eiffel Tower. The kids enjoyed coloring pictures of their own Eiffel Tower and counting how many Eiffel Towers they could find in the preschool room.

On Friday we visited Egypt. We talked about pyramids and mummies, but don't worry, I didn't go into detail about that. I actually just asked if anyone knew what a mummy was. There answer was, "yes, someone who is wrapped in toilet paper." :) We also talked about King Tut and learned that he was only 10 years-old when he became king. The kids had fun decorating pyramids with different Egyptian pictures and trying to write their names using hieroglyphs.

Our wall of flags is filling up! We only have one country left to visit and then the kids will be able to take home their country flag books.
