History/Geography Project

Noah's learning about Muhammad and the rise of Islam these days.  I love being able to teach him about world history ... because I can frame it with a solidly Christian worldview.  So much shaping going on!  Thankful.  Along with this period in history, we did mapping of the Arabian Peninsula, Mecca, Medina and such.  To lighten the historical mood a bit, however, we recreated the Arabian desert landscape with candy ... complete with an oasis and camel caravan. 

One of our camels could stand up no longer.  We decided that sad end was fitting with the scene still.  He must have died of thirst before reaching the water, poor thing.  You see his last steps there on the right, may he rest in peace. :}
