I like writing in pictures

This week, we learned about how ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians used to write.  We tried our hands at cuneiform and hieroglyphics. 


Can you read what we wrote on our clay tablets?


Translation
Top Left: Eli's is just the letter E in both hieroglyphics and cuneiform. It's turned sideways.
Bottom Left: Noah wrote his name in hieroglyphics
Top Right: I wrote "I love my family" in cuneiform
Bottom Right: Leah wrote in hieroglyphics "Leah's Room"

Everything else on the try was created after, just for fun.
