Dever sixth-grade students in Room 210 brought their social studies curriculum to life not only for themselves, but also for fourth- and fifth-grade students. The museum contained artifacts, research posters, displays, a reenactment of the myth of Demeter and Persephone as well as an ancient Egyptian burial ceremony spoken in English and Arabic. The museum gave the younger grades a peek into what's coming up in their future in social studies.
The fourth and fifth graders interacted with the sixth-grade students as they showed them how to write in hieroglyphics and how to use a mortar and pestle to make flour. The students even had the opportunity to listen to myths told by the gods and goddesses themselves. It was truly a trip back in time!
