We're starting Egypt this week! Mummies, pyramids, King Tut, the works. This is a short week with Veterans Day on Friday (always excellent when it falls on that day) and also the final week of Term 1, so there will also be time in class to finish any outstanding assignments and make up the most recent test if needed. Also, to cap off Mesopotamia (and seasonally appropriate for Vets' Day!), here is a cool picture sent in from Nick Dodge's dad of a military friend of their family having a sit-down on Saddam Hussein's throne in Iraq (conveniently located by the Euphrates River).

Thanks to Mr. Dodge (also a Social Studies teacher) for this picture and hope everyone has an excellent week!
