So today's class was interesting, well not  really. We reviewed our power point on the book we read and it was pretty interesting. Rita kept changing my slide and Elena kept writing on Emily Waite's slide. But anyway, Mr. Schick will not be in class tomorrow and we will be watching a movie with a sub.

So today's class was interesting! Mr. Schick read us part of a book and we all got an individual thing to work on. We are to add slides to a power point on our topic. My topic is the Persian Empire. My topic is very interesting. It covers a lot of countries!

Today in class we took a test on Egypt. I also sung the Egypt anthem. It was really funny and I didn't know the words to it.

Today in classed we went over a power point that is going to be on the test on Tuesday. We got to have Mr. Schick for about 25 minutes of the class which was good because we could ask questions if we needed to.

Today in class we had tow subs. Mr Schick is in the play so we did not get to have him with us for class today. We finished looking at the prezi on Egypt. I learned that scribes wrote in hieroglyphs and hieratic. Soldiers used wooden weapons with bronze tips. The upper class people were known as the "white kilt class."

We had a little fun in the very beginning of class. We learned some new facts on Egypt :

Geography

• Life is centered around the Nile River
• Delta -the delta is a broad marshy triangular area of fertile silt

• Transportation

• Water for drinking for bathing and irrigating

• Every July it floods

• Every October it leaves behind rich soil

• Flows south to north

• Managing the river requited technological breakthroughs in irrigation

Great Sphinx of Giza

• A recumbent lion with a human's head

• Built 2555-2531 BC

• 4,500 years ago it was built

• Oldest monumental statue in the world

SO, today we reviewed the PNG, and GGS test while raping the question and answer. We also learned why Mr . Schick calls Mark, Marky Mark, because of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. I think todays class was pretty fun! I was the only Emily in the class today which I thought was pretty cool!
