Today we learned about and celebrated Dia De Los Meurtos, The Day of the Dead. The 3-4 graders taught us about this holiday in Mexico when people celebrate their loved ones who have died. They have special altars where they light candles, wear masks, and hang colorful banners and marigolds. They might have a celebration at the graveyard where they bring the dead their favorite foods. We got to make our own masks and paper marigolds. It was a fun celebration.

Today we had a special service run by the Environmental Ministry group. We watched a video about kids protesting different injustices, including environmental protests. Each of us made a sign for environmental issues they were concerned about and marched through Elliot Hall when service let out.

We learned that the tv doesn't have a fast forward, and that speakers and a computer worked much better than the tv. On a now serious note we watch a part of the ten commandments, in the part that we watched Moses saw and talked to a burning bush (god). We also finished making journals.

We learned about god as a creator. We made our own world too. It had weird dragons and stuff.

Oct 3 God Images

This week we finished our God Images video. We are going to learn about other peoples faiths. We talked about how other people see god. Some people have images of god, but some religions think of it as something so above there is no image possible.
