Mechanical Dioramas - Early Mesopotamian Empires

To all -

As you have probably heard, your kids are working on a project in Social Studies right now centered around the early Mesopotamian Empires of Assyria, Akkadia and Babylon. For the last week, students have been working in small teams to create a Mechanical Diorama that they will be displaying on Friday, January 22nd in the Arrowhead library.

All classrooms and parents/families are invited to attend this event and learn about these early empires and the impact they had on the Middle East. Students will be presenting from 1:00 - 2:30 PM on Friday afternoon. If you are unfamiliar with the mechanical diorama, it is much like a moving wax museum. Students from each empire will be in costume and character to 'relive' life in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago.

Please plan to join us this Friday, January 22nd from 1:00 - 2:30 PM. There are no designated show times. Come any time during that block and walk through the 'museum'. Cameras are welcome!
