Barbara Cerwinske

Each year, St. John the Evangelist School explores a different world culture through an interdisciplinary project. "Egypt Unwrapped" is the selected project for the 2009-2010 school year. Cerwinske plans to integrate Ancient Egypt in all academic subjects for students in third through sixth grades to continuously investigate and learn about Egypt. Students will play Egyptian games, build pyramids, write using hieroglyphics, and even make ancient Egyptian instruments. Research will be conducted to gather information and develop presentations on the traditions, beliefs, and customs of Egyptians. A visit is scheduled to the "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs" exhibit at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. Lastly, the school will hold an Egyptian Fair for students to share projects, games, and food with parents and community members. Cerwinske resides in St. John.
