    What an amazing experience for these children. Even the four year olds got into the swing of ancient Egypt. All of the art projects, map studies and school wide activities made learning about another culture so much fun! Congratulations SJEDS and Mrs. Tolisano and Mrs. McGee for highlighting this project in a book to share. Donna
