Grade 6 had the opportunity to learn from Mrs. Elana Kaplan about the “Art of Ancient Egypt” on Wednesday, March 22. Mrs. Kaplan is an educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and taught students about hieroglyphics and sculpting. Everyone had a great time following the hieroglyphics chart and sculpting mini-versions of ancient Egyptians’ belongings. What a fitting activity with Pesach approaching!
