READING Update!

We loved this book.  We highly recommend this book, and series, to everyone.  Teacher is reading them to us, and we do lots us fun activities on each book.  In this book, Jack and Annie find a gold medallion with the letter "M" on it!

 This story was fun!  We learned about medieval times!Jack and Annie found a leather bookmark with the letter "M" on it.  We are so curious to find out what the "M" stands for!
This has been our favorite book so far.  We all took the Accelerated Reader test and passed with 80%, 90%, or 100%!  WOO-HOO!  Some of the words we learned during this story were:
PYRAMID: Triangle building made of bricks, that housed the dead. 
SARCOPHAGUS: Coffin for a mummy
MUMMY:Dead person who was salted, oiled, dried and wrapped in cloth
SCEPTER:Wand like stick, with a dog head on top.
TOMB: Place where the mummy& sarcophagus was placed. 
HIEROGLYPH: Ancient Egyptian writing using pictures.  
(We learned how to write our name in hieroglyphs). 
Jack and Annie found the letter"M" on the floor of the tree house when they returned from Egypt.  

The book we are reading now is called: "Pirates Past Noon".  Jack and Annie go to an Island where some pirate treasure is.    
So, today we had beach day!  SO fun.  We will post pictures of our day!
