As I look forward to Monday’s session, I see that our next unit moves us into a look at Church history. The challenge is to make history relevant.
Kids in general react to the notion of history as something that is boring. It’s already a challenge to make sure that they seen religion as relevant and not boring so I’m facing a double whammy!
Personally, I love history and I look forward to helping the kids to recognize how much we learn about who we are today by looking at our past. We have a lot of very rich history in the Church that shows how the Holy Spirit has guided us to this moment and continues to guide us.
I’ll update you on Monday with more specific plans. Have a good weekend.
Hi, I think history is so interesting, it was always my favourtie subject at school. I think the work you are doing in helping children learn about history, and how we have evolved is fantastic. Keep up the good work!
