Egypt - Cultural Arts Country 2009-2010

2009-06-26T08:46:00.000-07:00

This year, the PTA's Cultural Arts Committee at MDE will introduce Egypt to the students for a week in the spring. The purpose of this blog is to enhance that experience throughout the year and to provide a location for parents, teachers, and students to learn more about Egypt, ask questions and share their own experiences, allowing everyone to be teachers and learners.

Students are able to view this movie at home.
At school, students can find the movie in the Egypt folder on Sweden.
