Hands on History

This afternoon we tackled a portion of history that highlighted the spread of Islam. It focused on the actual conquering and amassing of land versus the spread of the Muslim religion. We read a couple of fun, although sometimes a bit intense, Arabic stories, then did some map work, crafts and baking. I love seeing the kids learn history in this hands-on fashion. Maybe they will even retain a bit here and there. :)
