Turning 1st Graders into Egyptologist

 My 1st grade Study Group is up and running!  In order to get them thinking like Egyptologist, we started with some synthesizing activities and Post-It notes.  Basically, Post-Its make any activity super amazing and special!  Before any information was presented, I had my little ones complete the sentence "In my mind Egypt is..." by writing or drawing it.  As we have gathered more information, we have added to our poster.  Here is how our thinking currently looks!

Wow!  Look how blank this poster was when we first started!  Lots of thinking has definitely been taking place!  AWESOME!!!
