King Tut

A happy boy, his Quest project has been presented.
You can see the open side of the pyramid that Jackson paper mached. I bought the supplies and he created this on his own.

This was the product that he came up with for helping solve a problem. The problem being that the tombs were being robbed of their treasures. Having wanted posters back then may have helped to capture some of these robbers. Do you love the fact that he could not wait to take the picture of his siblings being the robbers?!



This was a project that was started in January. His Quest class first studied Ancient Egypt and were each given a sub topic to research. His being King Tut! They first had to have 50 written facts, followed by many organization techniques. They had to have "moving information" somewhere on the board. He did a spin wheel and a pop up book. The Wanted poster was his product and with lots of cool supplies from his Nana he finished the board. (Did I mention how many hours I personally had in this project?) I don't know who is more relieved, Jackson or Mom. On May 12th he will have his displayed with all of the other Quest students for a Quest Fair.
Pretty intense project for a second grader but I am sure that this will help him be successful with all class presentations that he will forever have.

Well done, Jackson and Mom! I love the wanted poster. Now what to do with the project now that it is al over--do we store it for an undetermined amount of time?
