8th Grade Newsletter
Week of January 4th
Reading – The students will be taking their literary terms test.
English - To get our 8th graders "Freshman-year ready", we will explore spelling, parsing, and diagramming, as well as a "Year-in-Review" writing project that will allow us to see how the past teaches us valuable lessons. The schedule and guidelines for this project can be found under "English Syllabus" on the front page of the middle school site. Students bringing in a hard copy of this to class on Tuesday will earn 1 point bonus!
Religion- We will wrap up our Advent Angel projects on Tuesday by offering one final "gift," our Advent journals that outline how we have put our "angels" before ourselves during the Advent season. In addition, we will continue to hunt Scripture daily, offer our services as Mass Mentors, and examine session #7 in our Confirmation preparation books.
Math - 3rd Hour will be taking their cummulative midterm on Monday and Tuesday. 4th Hour will be taking the Chapter 3 test which covers inequalities.
Math (Geometry) – We will be finishing our midterms and doing a brief Algebra review.
MATH Exploratory –
Science – Mid-Term test this week!
Social Studies - Students take their chapters 8 - 10 essay test.
Notes - The Website will be under construction over Christmas Break.
UNIFORM SHORTS/SCHOOL SWEATERS – As noted in the Family Handbook, wearing uniform shorts for boys and girls stops on September 30th. Students will again be able to wear shorts in the spring, upon Mr. Ridder’s announcement. Also, school uniform sweaters must be worn by all students in Kindergarten - 8th grade students during every Mass beginning on Thursday, October 1st. NOTE: - Every student in the building owns a school sweater, therefore, we strongly advise for you to put your child’s name inside their sweater on their tag!
