Finn has the same core teachers for sixth grade that Ezra had and thus, he also did a hands on project for the Egyptian unit. Whereas Ezra made a chariot, Finn and his group made a life size sarcophagus. They used a cardboard base shape and then covered it in paper mache and lots of paint. They worked mostly independently both at school and at our house, so I don’t have many pictures.
The toxic gold paint was really the only thing that I was worried about. It worked out pretty well though with only a few globs ending up where they weren’t supposed to be. Here are some shots of the final product.
And here’s Finn bringing it to school for the big unveiling.
And here’s Finn and his group on the night the class presented all of their projects.
