We are doing an Islamic simulation in Social Studies Class. We earn Dirhams (a form of arabic money) to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Every 10 Dirhams we earn in class we move one step!

Okay. Today in Class, we had what is called a “Caravan Day” when we earn money to move closer to Mecca, and we have quiz cards (if we get an answer right we get 5 dirham) We also earn Wisdom cards, but I will explain those later.

The five most Important things I’ve learned:

1. Arab means “lacking of moisture”
2. Early Astronomers created many different instruments
3. Arabs were one of the first users of calligraphy
4. Muhammed perfected cleanliness and equality

Today we earned eight dirham. We moved no spaces.

Today we earned one fact wisdom card.
