January Highlights

During the month of January, all 7^th grade students will be preparing for “A Walk Through American History” during Catholic Schools Week.

 In Social Studies, the seventh graders will be study the importance of memorializing the heroes of the 20^th Century.  They will explore different events and people that have been memorialized and then create their own 20^th Century Memorial. 

 The 20^th Century has given us so many Americans that work for peace and justice in the Kingdom on Earth.  In Religion, the seventh graders will take a closer look at some of these disciples of Christ and how they too can be Good Samaritans. 

 In Reading,  we must find out how Buttercup’s story ends.  The seventh graders will continue reading the 20^th Century novel, The Princess Bride.  After viewing the film, they will consider how the story of Buttercup and Westley could be adapted for the year 2007.           

   In Math, we will be working on our Catholic School’s Week Unit where we will be dealing with family based mathematics through the century. 

 In Science, the students are learning about the digestive system. The students are also working diligently on their science fair projects.

 In English, the students completed the Review of Literature and Reference List sections of the Science Fair research book during December and will discover the importance and influence of American History on writing and composition as it encompasses our many acquired skills through hands-on experiences during our January Journey.
