About Our Class
Our class is learning to apply the saying, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." We are seeing that played out in Bible lessons about ancient Israel and Judah, and the Babylonian captivity. We are also exploring similarities between events in U S history and current events. In addition, we are learning real-life skills through our class town, Sunnyville. Students are learning to run town meetings, hold elections, and participate in a class economy (including taxes).
Our class is also sponsoring a boy in Mauritania through World Vision. We are enjoying learning about a little-known part of Africa as we raise money by paying for the privilege of dressing down on Fridays.
