Weekly Update Jan. 11--15

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

ELA & Religion--The students continued to work on Short Stories with the theme of Courage. We will be having a test this week, likely Wednesday. In Religion we talked about scientific beliefs and the Word of God.
Math--Students are working on Ch. 5: Gr. 7--Probability, Gr. 8--3-D Surface Area. The grade 8 class should complete the chapter this week with a test on Monday of next week.
Social Studies—-We created a commercial for a product the students created in class based on a Greek God.
Science—-We looked at fluid movement in animals. We will work on unit review/unit test this week.
French—-We continued working on our study of winter sports and the Olympics.

Letters went home this week for our new stewardship project. We will be collecting school supplies for CLWR. Please send any of the items on the list to the school and the students will package them accordingly.

Field trip permission slips will go home today for the trip on Thursday. Could you please let me know via email as soon as possible if you are able to drive? We have a bit of a tight scheduling problem to make it to both events if we are walking and or busing. Also, the students may need to eat their lunch in the vehicle dependent on the length of the MTYP show. Please send a bag lunch with students on Thursday.
