Class experience
US Grade 2 - 4
This class will be done from a historic and secular perspective looking at each religion's beliefs in a respectful manner. We will focus more on the commonalities than the differences regarding the religions we discuss. Some of the religions that we will discuss will include but are not limited to the following: Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, and Sikhism. Because this is a younger age student I will work to include many pictures and activities beyond lecture to help...
Students will learn the following from this class: --What each religion believes about God or a higher being. --What the major beliefs or tenets of each faith are. --What are any holidays or celebrations associated with each religion. -- How the people that follow their specific faith practice it day to day. -- The history of each faith and where they began. -- Any holy books, scriptures, poems, or songs used by each faith.
In 1997-1998 I was a missionary in New Jersey where I studied religion intensively and served and taught the people of that community. I am currently teaching a group of high school students a religion class that meet for 50 minutes a day. During college as a Spanish major I studied World Religion and many religious practices of people in Spanish speaking countries. I have also taken an Introduction to Judaism class to better understand the Jewish faith, worship, texts, and traditions. I work as a Community Coordinator with exchange students from around the world and have been able to interact with many students and host families from many different faiths. I have learned and grown in my understanding of different religions from the experiences that they have shared. I have home schooled my children for the past 7 years and as part of our curriculum we have studied and learned about different faiths, cultures and religious traditions. We have also attended worship services of other faiths to gain a better understanding of who they are and what they believe. I love to study history and in reading and studying history you study the religious beliefs and traditions of different civilizations and countries.

Religion in general can be a sensitive topic. We will be looking at religion in a historical perspective and how it relates to our current world. We will steer away from any controversial religious topics and stay focused on understanding of the beliefs of the religions being studied.
