All about Islam & Aboriginal and Maori art!

6th: Today, we learned about different types of Oceanic art- Aboriginal and Maori. We examined pieces of art and recognized the difference between Aboriginal art and Maori art, taking notes on the different art we viewed. Then, we wrote a compare/contrast paragraph, discussing the similarities and differences between these 2 types of art. From there, we started to get our ideas together for our aboriginal dot painting- which we will start tomorrow! How exciting!
Homework: As always, you should be reading.

7th: Today, we talked about Islam, reading an article and answering questions. Then, we got to have a Q & A with our guest speaker, Mr. Aaron, about Islam. Mr. Aaron was awesome- so informative. I learned many things...hmmm...the word "Islam" means submission to the will of God and the word "Muslim" means people who submit to the will of God.
Homework: Keep reading.
