Visitors to the Grand Egyptian Museum will be greeted by a giant, 3,200-year-old statue of King Ramses II (shown here in 2019 during the museum’s construction).
Three of the US exhibits include the following:

HHMI is one of my favorite resources, so when they post new material for the use of science teachers, I can't help but check it out. Hoping that you will find something useful here:

This particular link relates to the oldest known, documented footprints of modern humans, found in Africa, dated 153,000 years old. As a science teacher, I can't help but be amazed and captivated by what modern science can do.

A great website for free teaching resources is Twinkl USA

 

I really love Twinkl but I had to sign up for the paid subscription to get the best resources. There aren't many free ones. It's only $5 a month so it's that's not too bad.

I personally love the PBS Learning Media resources. Once there, look around to see what else interests you.

 

I chanced on Paperrater recently and found it to be a great free resource. The website primarily serves as an essay checker. I copy pasted an essay on colonialism and the website was able to check spelling, plagiarism, grammar, word choice, style, vocabulary words, and assign grades too. It provides a few Grammarly premium features for free and hence shared it. Do let me know if this resource was helpful.

 

For the art teachers out there, courtesy of PBS:

If you prefer outdoor activities, try a game of tag, hide and seek, or a scavenger hunt. Don't forget to encourage creativity with arts and crafts or storytelling sessions. The most important thing is to engage and bond with the kids, making each game a wonderful learning experience for everyone. Have a great time!
