Sixth graders in Mrs. Van Keuren’s class at Shaw Avenue School in Valley Stream District 30 are currently immersed in their study of Ancient Egypt.  

On Dec. 12, students learned about the papyrus plant and how the Ancient Egyptians used it to create papyrus paper. As a culminating activity, students also crafted their own papyrus paper. When their papyrus paper fully dries, students will pretend to be Ancient Egyptian scribes and write their names in hieroglyphics on the paper, which will be accompanied by the Ancient Egyptian god or goddess that they choose to research.
