THE FLIGHT PLAN
LITERATURE: Students are reading their classics and completing reading log #1. Eighth graders are reading the second section of their classic. They will complete the second reading log. They will review characterization, one of the building blocks of fiction. They will then apply ideas to the characters in the classic that they are reading.
SOCIAL STUDIES: 8th graders are using Junior Scholastic to learn annotation skills and about American independence from Great Britain.
RELIGION: Students are reviewing Catholic Social Teachings. They will create a poster around one of the teachings.
We are LEARNERS, FAITHFUL, and KIND!
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Blessings,
Mrs. Reichlin
