Egyptian Marketplace

By Kandice Kimmel, Latin & History 5th-8th

The sixth grade class hosted their very own Egyptian market!

We have traveled to Egypt in our ancient civilizations class and learned all about mummification, canopic jars, pyramids, ka, pharaohs, the Nile, and so much more!

Each student chose a profession to research and presented their findings in an interactive marketplace. Our market had a scribe, pharaoh, farmer, military officer, brewer, perfumist, healer, common solider, leather worker, jewelry designer, and traveling merchant who was also an expert in mummification.

Project-based learning is important at St. James Day School. The students learn team building and time management skills while developing their communication skills. They also gain a better understanding of the concepts and subject material.
