"Go Saints!"
Hello, Middle School Families!
We had another great week! We discussed our weekly virtue of Orderliness, 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 Trustworthiness, so we will focus on that in English and Sciences classes.
For 6th grade English, we ended our Plagiarism unit with a final assessment, and began our next unit, The Writing Process. Next week, they will begin writing their first creative story. The rubric and due dates will be discussed on Monday/Tuesday. For 7th & 8th graders, their creative stories draft 1 was due today (Friday, 10/02). They completed pre-writing, drafting, peer-editing, revising, and now they are on the proofreading/editing stage of the writing process. They will continue this coming week, and we will have a contest for the "best spooky story" near the end of the month. The students are so creative!
In Science, 6th grade completed their first interactiev lab-- the Starburst Rock Cycle Lab. They also wrote their first C.E.R.-- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning write-up to report their findings after the lab. They will continue reading Ch. 4 on Rocks & The Rock Cycle this coming week, a quiz will be forthcoming, and their Rock Project will also be introduced. For 8th grade, they are working hard on completing their first presentation of the year. Each student has to research one Scientific Law and one Scientific Theory, and present their findings to the class this week. Eighth graders also designed their class shirts, so hopefully we will get a link to order those soon! More information to come!
An email will be coming home shortly regarding information for our field trips to Mooney and Austin this coming week!
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 😊
