Sarcophagus Creations

I had my 6th grades make mummies and Sarcophagus creations to earn extra credit in some of their classes with me. Out of 17 students, 15 came back on Monday with what they made. I just had to show some of them to you.

This just had to be my favorite sarcophagus. I just thought it was cool how they even went to draw the front cover.

This sarcophagus was made by my favorite sixth grader, named Cameron. He made his out of clay and then spray painted it gold. Unreal!

One student had a mummy that was the size of a small child. It shocked you at first. I turned around and she is holding this huge thing in my face. Her sarcophagus was even a packing box because her mummy was so big.

And then one student had a mummy that apparently starved inself before it died. I know you can't see the real size of this thing but it was about the size of a twig.

Just some Pictures of my Kids this year

Pearls

One of my eighth grade boys, named David (also my favorite student), just got back from a three week trip to China with his family and he came with a gift for me and Megan McCartney. Pearl bracelets. It wasn't until later, after looking at the pearls more closely and then talking to his mother, that I found out they're REAL!!! I couldn't believe it. David's family loves us, so I guess I can understand the gift, but wow.

New Classroom Ready to Go

Thought you might want a look at my new classroom for this year. This will be the new 7th and 8th grade homeroom.

Fun in the Water

July Fourth

Rebecca and I got a chance to see Washington D.C. firework display. We were right by the National Monument. Pretty...pictures don't do it justice.

Tuesday

The Zoo was our domain for the day. It was alot of fun to see some animals that we don't get a chance to see everyday.

Monday

We ended our day with a play at the Kennedy Center. Here are a few shots of the inside and outside before and after the play.

Sunday

Sunday was a very busy day. We started off with a cruise to Mount Vernon and a look at its grounds.

Later in the night we went for a tour around downtown in the dark. Very beautiful. A look at the Washington Monument from below.

The World War II Memorial is the most beautiful monument in Washington D.C. in my opinion. I think these pictures will give you a clue into why I think so.
