Our Mayan Adventure

Our fifth grade class is participating in our school's "It's A Small World After All" project. Our class is studying Mexico and communicating with the Universidad Autonoma de Queretaro, as well as participating in MayaQuest '97. This page provides links to some interesting sites related to Mexico and the Mayans. These are some of the things we have done while studying Mexico:

Made a scaled replica of the pyramid El Castillo at Chitzen Itza
Made a statue of a Mayan god
Tasted samples of Mayan foods
Studied Mayan number system
Mexican sand painting
Conducted a video conference with Mexican students at the Universidad Autonoma de Queretaro
Followed the daily adventures of the MayaQuest'97 team as they biked through ancient Mayan ruins
