Religious Studies
Thank you for a great conversation today (4/23) about your Credo. Your end of year assignment is to continue to develop your "I believe statements". These include:
What do I believe/not believe about God
What do I believe about myself
What do I believe about space
What do I believe about time
Please come to class next week prepared to continue the conversation. Next week will be our final Chai with the Chaplain for the year. A rough draft of what you "believe" so far will be helpful to the conversation.

Está solo, llorando
En silencio, en la oscuridad
Está soñando, deseando
Con esperanza, por la oportunidad
Escúchalos, escúchalos, ellos te llaman
Escúchalos, míralos
Escucha lo que tratan de decir
Están en búsqueda del camino
Pequeñas voces llamándote
Escúchalos, escúchalos, ellos te llaman

O ka moana hanupanupa
Lalala i kala hanahana
