THE FLIGHT PLAN
LITERATURE: All students have chosen a classic to read for the next 5 weeks. A review of the 9 Building Blocks of Fiction will help students understand their classic. Students divided their books into 5 sections. Each week students will complete a reading log. The first reading log is due on Monday, September 16.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Eighth graders are researching a current event. They are making text connections in the articles they are reading.
RELIGION: Students are organizing their religion notebooks. They received their Service Logs. Eighth graders are expected to complete 7 hours of service. Next week students will review Catholic Social Teachings.
WE ARE LEARNERS. WE ARE FAITHFUL. WE ARE KIND.

Dear 8th Grade Parents,
I am very happy to have your child for another year of science! We will be focusing on Chemistry for the first part of the year, and then physics this spring. This week we are working on some review of previous years science topics in addition to exploring our chemistry books and doing some lab work on Thursday.
