Egypt

by William

Egyptians buried their kings in pyramids and secret chambers so people couldn't steal anything they put in there. They buried treasure with their kings because they thought they had second lives and their spirits could use that treasure in their second lives. They wrapped them up in bandages. The Egyptian's god was the sun--they thought his chariot was the sun. They fished and hunted ducks in the Nile River. They also made canals to water their plants. The Nile River has crocodiles in it. The Egyptians had the Israelites for slaves for a while. The Egyptians wrote in pictures.

(From Sonlight LA 1. Have your child describe the land of Egypt in eight to ten well-formed sentences.)
