Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Hello parents!

Last week we finished talking about the basic tenets of Judaism. We had a guest speaker in our classroom from the University of Evansville as well to support the content that we are learning!

Another new addition to our classroom is Miss Arbuthnot. Sarah Arbuthnot is an intern from the University of Evansville. She will be working along with me to teach and direct your children until May 1. Miss Arbuthnot comes with a wealth of experience and she is a great teaching resource in our class! If you have any questions for Miss Arbuthnot, please let me know and I will get you connected :)

This week we have been discussing Christianity and the basic tenets of that religion. We are working on developing our reading and writing skills as we practice comparing and contrasting the beliefs of the most popular world religions.

Next week we will be moving on to a discussion of Islam. The format will be similar to the preceeding two weeks.

As always, contact me if you have any questions or concerns!! :)
