Sharing in the "FUN" at Egypt
Egypt Elementary Talent Show 2007
The students of Egypt Elementary shared their talents with the faculty and
students. Some of the talents were singing, dancing, and drum playing.
The All-Stars, the school dance team, also performed. To end the talent
show, our principal, Ms. White, and vice principal, Mrs. Richey,
sang "Ebony and Ivory".
First and Second Grade Crafts Fair
First and Second grade students took part in a crafts fair. Each classroom made crafts and provided services such as a gym with exercising, painting nails, decorating and eating cookies, and massages. The purpose was to teach the students about goods and services and all about money.
The teachers at Egypt spent the week of Inservice learning many
new ideas and exciting activities to use in the classroom. The teachers also
presented different ideas, skits, games, and songs.
The teachers had a lot of fun learning!
Responsive Classroom Activities

Our ESL Teachers are trying very hard to include our Hispanic families in all that we do. Tuesday, September 11, they met together to discuss ways to work together to bridge the two languages together.

Winners of the Memphis in May Best Classroom Project Competition
Egypt Elementary's first grade students in Mrs. Tracy Payne and Mrs. Jenny
Gray won the Memphis in May Best Classroom Project Competition. The
students collaborated to develop a glance of Spanish life. The students
researched the Internet, read books and wrote book reports about Spain. A
small group of students created a 3D map of Spain, identify four of its
major cities and labeled the cardinal directions. In pairs, students
constructed the habitats of Spain which included some of its animals.
Students painted the Spain's flag. One student colored eight pieces
of the Spanish's shield, resembled them and glued them like a puzzle.
Students made Spanish's ships in bottles as a symbol of the early
Spanish explorers.
Spain is known for its beautiful castles. The class pretended King
Juan Carlos wanted them to design a castle for him and his family. THe
castle was made of cardboard and sprayed with sand paint.
Students glued colorful mosaic tiles in patterns across the castle.
The class imagined they were American Tourist visiting Spain. As
they traveled around this exciting country, students kept vacation
spending journals. The students drew items they wanted to buy and
recorded the amount of money for each item. The girls painted
flamenco dancers as they were dancing at a Spanish festival. The
boys constructed a replication of a Spanish bullfight in an area.
This classroom is a team teaching class with 40 students in one
classroom. The students worked in cooperative groups to complete the
project. The class selected the best pieces to be displayed for
public viewing. For their great effort, they were awarded $1000.00
dollars! Go First Graders!
