Take a look at the 6th Grade Ancient Egypt Exhibit at JCMS!
Our 6th-grade students transformed their learning into a full museum experience by creating Ancient Egypt artifacts and bringing them together in a student-designed exhibit. From travel brochures highlighting famous Egyptian sites to detailed displays, every part of the exhibit was researched, built, painted, and created by students.
You’ll see diagrams, masks, maps, a carved Sphinx, 3D printed models, and more, all imagined and constructed through students’ creativity and hard work. Students loved researching and fully immersing themselves in the world of Ancient Egypt, and their excitement shows in every exhibit.
Check out the photos to see this amazing student-created museum and how Ancient Egypt came to life in 6th grade!
Thank you to Miss Warren, Miss Strohbeck, and Miss Schilling for making Social Studies engaging for your students.

West Elementary Physical Education is truly outstanding. Mrs. Ray designed an engaging Olympic-themed experience for our kindergarten and first-grade students, allowing them to participate in activities such as speed skating, curling, bobsledding, and ski jumping. This creative approach has been both educational and exciting for our youngest learners.
