Middle School Mummies |
 |
DeWitt Middle School's 7th grade social studies students have studied ancient Egypt in the last few weeks. They made a life size replica of an Egyption mummy. They chose their dimensions by measuring different students in the 7th grade and modeling that part of the mummy after them. The legs are modeled after Jacob Chapman, the torso of Stone Matthews, and the arms and head of Tyrius Luster. This has been the perfect way to literally WRAP the year up!! Mr. Clay Dollar teaches 7th grade social studies.
