Falcon gods dance

To enhance the study of Ancient Cultures, the second grade enrichment class at Crabapple Elementary took a field trip to the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. The students observed many artifacts from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. In addition, the dance department organized a movement class taught by students at the university. The enrichment students designed and performed pieces they choreographed with the Emory students on the rise, rule, death and burial of an Egyptian pharaoh.
