Hello Sixth Grade! I visited
you three times this fall. To help begin your study of ancient Egypt, I spoke
to you about Egyptian mummies during my first visit. When I returned a few
weeks later, I showed you some interesting slides of bog bodies and other
mummies found around the world. For my third visit I walked through the
Egyptian Museum you created and was asked to introduce you to my website. Here
are some pictures of my visit (click on the thumbnail for a larger view):

I had a great time on all three
visits and was impressed by your museum exhibits. Keep on reading and
writing and learning about All Things Egyptian (including Mummies)!
