We are currently working on the 5 major world religions.  We will start with Judaism the move to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism & Buddhism.  We will not be working out of the textbook for this unit because it is spread out all over the textbook & tends to be confusing to students.  Students will read from handouts from another textbook & learn through discussion & group work about each of the religions.  If you have any questions during this unit please feel free to contact me.

Next test is scheduled for Tues 2/9.  Open notes.

Ask your kids about:

 Students will not need a textbook at home.  Everything they need for home is in their red folder. 
   Please remind your child that he/she should be studying their notes about 10-15 mins each evening.  This will prevent them from having to spend hours studying for a test the night before.
