Ramadan

One of the students in our class brought in a traditional musim treat that is eaten during Ramadan. Lulu explained how she made the date balls and that her parents eat them when it's dark out side to break their fast. We loved trying the dates they were delicious. Ramadan is on the 9th month of the Islamic calender and begins on a different date each year, the Islamic calender is lunar so it begins when the moon is in a crescent shape. People who celebrate Ramadan eat only when it's dark outside and don't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. Ramadan is a month of giving and caring, room 18 was very thankful to receive such a special cultural treat from Lulus family.
