Nubians

Today we are moving on from Ancient Egypt. We are studying the Nubians (in preparation for our field trip on Friday) then then we will be studying the Hittites and the Babylonians later this week. We will be quickly covering a lot of the ancient peoples and then we will pause again in Ancient Greece to end the year. Next fall we will do Romans and then the middle ages.
