The 7th graders have completed projects on ancient civilizations in World History at FMS. Students in Mr. Davis’s history class had to orally present and write informative essays on their chosen topics!




Sixth grade students have been busy studying Ancient Egypt in social studies. During one activity, they were able to learn the steps the Egyptians took to mummify a body. They explored the effects of "natron" by mummifying a potato.
In another activity, students were able to try their hand at writing in hieroglyphics, the Ancient Egyptian writing system. They created their own cartouche, an oval frame which contains the name of a Pharaoh written in hieroglyphics. They have been having a great time actively learning about this time period.

This fall the 8th grade students worked on a project called "Micrography": using words to create images. Students brainstormed 100+ words and phrases to describe themselves and aspects of their lives. Using their school photo as a template, they traced their features, then replaced the lines with their words. This created an image of themselves with their own writing.
