Ancient Heiroglyphics

Heiroglyphics were  around  so many years ago. This week our story is about a man who figured out what the heiroglyphics meant. His name was Jean-Francois Champollion.He was born in 1790. When he was 7, his older brother told him about General Napoleon. He read the Rosetta Stone.  He wanted to go to Egypt to read the ancient heiroghlphs. He did. He died in Paris in 1822. He was a really smart man. 

Emily: I really enjoyed reading this week's story.  It was fun learning about hieroglyphs! 
 
Ki:  I thought the Egypt  stuff was cool and interesting to learn.


Regina:  This week's story was awesome!  I liked making our own hieroglyphics.
