6th-8th: This month we delve into Islam, one of the ‘Big 3’ with over 1.6 billion followers worldwide. We will discuss important aspects and concepts of the religion to deepen students understanding of the Islamic faith and learn about the prophet Muhammad, founder of Islam.
Children will also begin to think more deeply about how their own faith could be expressed in small and great ways, in every part of their lives, and throughout life.
February goals:
- Introduce core aspects of Islam
- Acquaint us with the life of Muhammad, founder of Islam
ª Encourage thought about how their own religion is manifest in their lives.
