We are studying Ancient History...Ancient Egypt specifically. The Nile was so important to those ancient peoples. So what better way to learn that to build our own mighty Nile River.

| Creating the river bed |
 |
| Planting grass seed |
 |
| Construction crew |
 |
| Filling the river |
 |
| After the banks have overflowed |
|

The idea is that early farmers depended on the river to flood each year to water their crops and deposit fertile soil on the banks. So, every few days we will "flood" our Nile to water the grass seeds. Soon we should have lush, green grass. Next week....we begin pyramid construction!
I am grateful for fun learning projects.
