From pyramids to cupcakes: history 6 students celebrate the culmination of ancient Egypt unit

Grade 6 history students recently transformed their classroom into the “Crocodile Café” to celebrate the culmination of their ancient Egypt unit. Students selected from various creative project options, bringing ancient Egyptian culture to life through research and hands-on creation. The room was filled with dioramas, models, and an impressive array of Egyptian-inspired foods—from traditional flatbreads to pyramid cakes, Egyptian hummus, Sudanese donuts, and even “canopic jar cupcakes” with gummies inside to represent the organs normally placed in jars during the mummification process! Each student gave a presentation to the class on a topic they had individually investigated, deepening their understanding of this fascinating civilization through shared discovery while building important research skills.
