Class News

Week of October 6th

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary!

Happy Feast of the Most Holy Rosary (Oct. 7)!

In class news, I am still working to update all grades in the Option C grade book. My goal is to have all grades entered by Friday afternoon. So, please, check Option C over this coming weekend and contact me with any questions or concerns.

7^th Grade News:

• In Math, we took our first real test on Chapter 1 last week. This was the end to our review of the material from last year, and this week we will begin learning new things, starting with fractions.

• In Science, we are going to finish up our scientific investigation into which brand of paper towel is truly the "quicker-picker-upper"! Students will perform their experiments and submit their findings early next week. 

• In Religion, Fr. Anayo asked the students to make a visit to their family's place of worship and to reflect on the meaning and importance of worship.

8^th Grade News:

• In Math, we will have a retake of the Chapter 1 test this week, and then we will have to move on to cover more material this trimester. But, any students who need more review and assistance are very welcome to join us for math tutoring on Mondays right after school (3 - 4 PM)!

• In Science, we will perform our "paper towel experiment" this week. The goal of this exercise is to sharpen the student's scientific thinking before we dive deeper into physics and chemistry over the rest of the year.

• In Religion, Fr. Anayo assigned the students to research the difference between "mental health" and "mental illness" , as well as the definition of the term "stigma". Students were supposed to write a one-paragraph summary of what they learned.
