Hello, Middle School Families!  

We had another great week! We discussed our weekly virtue of Courtesy, and how we can practice it in and out of the classroom. The students gave examples of how it sounds or looks to act in such virtuous ways around our school and parish. This week's virtue is Foresight, so we will focus on that in English and Sciences classes.

For 6th grade English, they submitted their typed version of the "spooky story," and will be proofreading and revising their final copies this week. They will also begin our first unit on basic grammar and punctuation. They have been working on this during our warm-up/bell work time each day, but we will be focusing on specific mechanics each week from here on out. 

For 7th & 8th graders, they completed Veteran's Day cards, their final spooky stories, and letters to a family member and/or friend. This coming week, we will focus on grammar with a new structure each week. Their writing pieces such as, essays and stories are graded as assessments, but we will have our first unit test at the end of next week. We will  also have a contest for the "best spooky story" per grade at the end of the month for some Halloween fun! 

In Science, 6th grade worked with a partner to finish reading Lesson 2 of Ch. 4, and were also shown examples of their upcoming Rock Collection Project, which is due on Monday, 10/19. They also completed their Rock Cycle Comic and began presenting them on Wednesday. For 8th grade, they are working hard on Lessons 3 and 4 of our Nature of Science (NOS) chapter, and did a mini lab for lesson 3, lab equipment. 

Let's continue to keep one other, Father Anthony, and our St. A's community in our daily prayers throughout this school year.  I will continue to keep you all in mine. See you Monday, Saints! May God continue to bless you all.

Sincerely, Mrs. LeBrun 😊
