In a small, sunny classroom, Mrs. Sage stood in front of her students, ready to start the day.

Today, the children would learn about religious beliefs around the world.

Mrs. Sage showed a colorful map. 'Many cultures have different religious traditions,' she explained.

Tim raised his hand. 'Why are there so many religions?' he asked curiously.

'Well, Tim, religions grew from people's stories, experiences, and the need for understanding life,' Mrs. Sage replied.

'Some families go to a temple, a church, a mosque, or other sacred places,' Mrs. Sage continued.

'Do we need religion to be good?' asked Sophie, looking puzzled.

Mrs. Sage smiled gently. 'Being good comes from inside us, and religion can be a guide for some,' she said.

The class talked about holidays and traditions from different religions, sharing stories.

As the lesson ended, Mrs. Sage reminded the students about respect and kindness to all.

The children left the class thinking deeply about what they had learned.

'Remember,' Mrs. Sage called out, 'learning about each other helps us grow together!'
