In class this week, we’ve been diving into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian beliefs about what happens after death! Imagine traveling on a magical boat across the Nile River, facing fantastical creatures, and reciting spells to reach the afterlife. That’s just part of the incredible journey children are learning about. From mummification to the Great pyramids, the topic is sparking curiosity and a sense of wonder about this ancient civilization.
