1/7- Room 207

Epiphany

On Friday, January 3, the three kings visited all of the classrooms
and blessed the doors in preparation
of the feast of the Three Kings on January 6.

This feast celebrates
Jesus' first manifestation to the Gentiles
through the Magi.

Of course the Three Wise Ones were chosen from the class of 2020,

and we are very proud of them

for leading the school in this celebration of faith.

One Acts

The 8th graders are directing four one act plays

starring the 5th-7th graders.

We have been practicing a lot this week

to get them stage ready for their grandparents.

Literature

The 8th grade has started reading Romeo and Juliet.

Their experience with Shakespeare shows,

and they are comprehending much more fully

all the riches that this play offers.

Because I have chosen to attribute this

to their experience reading Shakespeare,

They have inspired me to read

A Midsummer Night's Dream

with the current 7th grade...

and the 7th graders did not disappoint.

They instantly met the challenge

and are merrily making their way through

this well loved comedy.

Their enthusiastic engagement with the text

promises that they will get as much out of the experience

that the 8th graders did last year.

Success!
