Ramadan is here!

Yes, it's Ramadan, our holy month; I can hardly believe it's been a year!

There's much the children and I plan to do, and of course that includes cool projects. One is about the Kaba. The Kaba is THE masjid (house of worship): built by Abraham and Ismael, the direction which all Muslims pray towards at least 5 times a day, and millions make pilgrimage to every year. This project will use an empty orange juice or soy milk container mounted on cardboard (or something of that weight), and the information will be given in the form of various folded manipulatives.

Another project will be a Fast of Ramadan lapbook (Oh, how we love our lapbooks!). This one will feature the meaning of the fast and why we do it in this month, recipes for suhur (early morning breakfast) and iftaar (dinner/ the breaking of the fast), other obligations during this month, etc.

I don't know what else we will be doing as of yet, but I'll more than likely let you know (wink).
Also, I'll be posting pictures soon for these, as well as other projects and events, so check back.

Peace.
