To celebrate Islamic Heritage Month, our Grade 6 students connected their Social Studies unit on identity with an exploration of Islamic art and architecture. They researched different Muslim dynasties and learned how each expressed faith and art through mosque design. Students then created beautiful models of famous mosques from around the world — including the Badshahi Mosque in Pakistan, the Great Mosque of Samarra in Iraq, the Al-Azhar Mosque in Egypt, the Blue Mosque in Turkey, the Imam Mosque in Iran, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine.
