M5-photo safari


This is the mummy of King Tut.
 This is amazing!






Khufu's pyramid!
This is a huge pyramid!











 This is where I saw someone floating while
  I was on a boat. It was creepy.
(Mediterranean  Sea)
 
Whoa! I stood there, starring at the Libyan Desert, wondering if a tornado was coming. This desert is enormous!








   
                                   I ate a sandwich before I
                                  was going to start learning these
                                                hieroglyphics.











           While I was exploring Egypt, I found myself
            beside the Nile River.





                                                                                                                                     
Wow! This is amazing! King David is defeating Goliath. With his slingshot!

           So when I got home there was someone standing in the kitchen but when I looked away and turned back around I didn't see anything. I thought to myself it must have been my imagination. So I went with my mom and told her I was back. I thought for a moment and said never mind.I walked out her room and said quietly to myself," I shouldn't have said that." My mom told me to come back to her room. So I went. She asked,"where did you go?" I explained everything to her but it seemed like she didn't believe what I was saying. So she asked where did I get the movie from and I said it was on the table. She said that there was no movie on the table. I said,"Yes there was, remember when I was sitting on the couch and then you came over and asked me why I was screaming so much, I was watching that movie."She said she did remember. So I started explaining who I met. It still seemed as if she didn't believe what I was saying. So I just got out her room and went to go see if I saw someone standing in the kitchen again.I saw someone unfamiliar walking towards me. I started backing up until I tripped on my shoe. I asked,"what is your name." He stood there as if he was paralyze. He finally answered,"I am Khufu." I said," No way."
"Are you the one who built the Great Pyramid at Giza?" 
"Yes I am." he answered. I was so shocked.
        He told me to come with him so I did. He had told me that it was made out of 2 million stone blocks that fit together perfectly. He also said that inside, tunnels led to several burial chambers. I was so amazed by all the things that he was telling me. He had told me that he had to go. So he suddenly disappeared. I waved at him but he didn't see me.

            After I had finished eating my moms delicious sandwich she gave me, I ran out the door to go to the store. As I was running out, I fell down the stairs. I stayed on the ground for about 15 seconds, then got up and looked if anyone was looking. There were 3 kids starring at me. "What are you guys looking at!", I yelled. I got up, stumbling up the stairs to go inside, as soon as I walked through the door my mom quickly asked,"What happen?!", "I felled down the stairs," I said silently said with a sad face on. "How?", she asked. I said,"My shoelace was untied and I tripped. So my mom started to put band aids on the spots that were hurt the most.
          The next day I woke up and went to go watch TV. I found a interesting movie. I picked it up and put it in the DVD. I was so exited to watch the movie. Finally it started, at the beginning it said," Do you want to take a journey to Egypt?" It waited for a long time, so I thought to myself, do I heave to actually answer to make the movie continue? So I suddenly shouted," YES!" It continued. I was so shocked that it actually worked. Then it asked another question,"Do you want to learn about the Nile River and other interesting facts such as, the mountains, the Mediterranean sea, and the deserts in Egypt?" I didn't want to learn about that by I just thought it was so cool that I had to answer the questions in order to move on with the movie. I guessed I should say yes then since it was so cool. Suddenly my mom walked in, she asked,"Why do you keep on shouting, honey?" "Ummmm......I ...... am just so......"
"So what?"
"Ummm.... I'm just talking to myself because this movie is so great!"
"And that's why you're shouting so loud?"
"Yup." So I continued to watch the movie. It said all these interesting  facts about Egypt. It talked about the Libyan desert and where people settled. It was just so cool.It asked anther question but I didn't know what it meant so I just said yes. After I had said yes, I started to get up and next thing I knew I was not touching the floor. I was in a whole different place. I started walking around wondering where I was at. I saw some people. They did not look familiar at all. I started seeing signs that said "Welcome to Egypt." 
          I thought to my self. I'm in Egypt.I was so excited to be in Egypt because I heard th\at it was one of the greatest place. I walked some more and suddenly I saw a giant pyramid. It was humongous. I saw a weird looking person. I walked up to him and said,"why are these pyramids so big."
He said," they are so big because these were here for hundreds of years, probably even more than that." He started to talk more about Egypt and it was very interesting. It was all amazing. I was happy until he stop  talking about Egypt. I asked him if he knew how to take me back home. He said yes so he took something out of his pocket and  pushed a button and it took me back home.

One morning I woke up feeling really groggy, and I didn't know why I was feeling that way, because I did't go to sleep so late, so that was very unusual. Still I had to take a shower, change into my outfit, eat breakfast, put on my coat, put on my backpack and go to school. So i got ready and my mother yelled out bonappetit, I had no idea what that meant. Anyway, when I got to school I felt really bad, my stomach started hurting really bad so I asked the teacher if I could go to the nurse. She said yes. So about 15 minutes later I felt better, so I went up to class. The teacher told me to grab the globe and look for a country called Nigeria. Instead of finding it, I did something else. I sat there, starring at the globe, wondering if the world was going to end any minute.I had no idea what I was thinking of. It was really weird though.
When I got out of school, I had to do homework. I was really tired after a long day at school. My homework was to write a 2 word sentence. So I started writing a 2 word sentence. "Spencer froze." The sentences had to have a subject and a verb. The subject is Spencer and the verb is froze. My homework was really easy, I finished in less than 10 minutes. I was so happy that I was finished with my homework. So after doing my homework I had to brush my teeth, put on my pj's and go to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
