After 8 batches of Rice Krispy Treats on the stove and 6 children covered in Rice Krispies we have made the ultimate 6th grade Social Studies project.  Brandon had to make a large Sphinx and he decided it would be really cool to make it out of Rice Krispies.  Well we packed and piled these things, let them harden a little and then he set about carving the Sphinx.  It was really an all afternoon project, but we have accomplished what the Ancient Egyptians did.  Phew, glad it is over and if any of you are wondering, yes we are still finding Rice Krispies everywhere.

Update:  Imagine a classroom full of 6th graders as Brandon walked in with a GIANT Rice Krispy Sphinx.  That day Brandon was definitely the most popular kid at school.  His teacher did give him an A.
