In social studies the girls made a map of ancient Egypt yesterday and read about archaeologist Howard Carter's search in 1922 for King Tutankhamen's tomb. After social studies, several girls in Tech class used Google Earth to find the Valley of the Kings where Howard Carter finally discovered King Tut's tomb while others used the app Make a Mosaic to create original designs. Here are two, one of Mt. Vesuvius erupting and the other of King Tut's golden mummy mask, that illustrate how a third grader has used an ancient art form in a 21st century application to depict historic "landmarks."
