Religion Group Projects


















This week students participated in their first group projects on major world religions.  Students researched and presented information on their topics in the form of a fifteen minute PowerPoint-based team lecture.  Students examined the origins, diffusion and basic tenents of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Confucianism and Animism/Shamanism.  Parents, please take some time this weekend to discuss with your children the results of this assignment.  Overall, the projects were a great success.

Dinner at Madras Chettinaad














Parents and students, please join us for our first class outing at Madras Chettinaad in Alpharetta.  The class will be reviewing material in class this week about Indian culture during the Mauryan and Gupta Empires and I believe this trip will be a great compliment to the content.  The restaurant is located at 4305 State Bridge Road, #108 Alpharetta, GA 30022.  Dinner will begin at 7:00pm and will run until approximately 9:00pm.  The cost is $15.00 per person (please bring exact change).  For further information and directions please visit http://madraschettinaad.com.  I hope to see you all there!
