Grade 7
7th graders are currently drafting descriptive pieces.
After brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing, drafting, editing, drafting, and editing some more,
we hope to be able to share some of the final drafts right here,
so stay tuned as we perfect our craft.
We have finished The Outsiders in literature class
and are busy analyzing the plot, conflicts, and themes.
In our religion class, we are working in small groups
to depict some of Jesus's parables as he told them
and how they remain relevant to us now.
Seventh grade is a roller coaster in many ways,
but we are enjoying the ride!
Grade 8
8th graders read The Odyssey in literature class over these past two weeks.
They have also started researching people affiliated with climate change science.
These people will be the topics of their first semester research papers
and a place to leap from for their capstone project in the spring.
More on that later...
In religion class, 8th graders are working on a whole class project.
They are creating a space that will help us remain cognizant of our call to service.
Our study focused on the Corporeal Works of Mercy and the Beatitudes.
Community Time
The middle school students participated in some team building activities
to strengthen their sense of family and belonging.
It is our hope that they will be able to help create the same feelings
in the little kids in the families they head.
