It feels like winter is on its way! And I love it, that means we are getting closer to CHRISTMAS! :)


Just a reminder that we do not have school tomorrow, Oct. 14th, or Monday, Oct. 17th. Monday, October 17th, is just for St. Malachy. The public school still has school.

NEXT Saturday, the 22nd, is the Spaghetti Supper. We are asking for each family to donate one baked good for either the Civics Club's cake walk or for the actual dinner.

On October 25th the 8th grade will be venturing to SWCC to take a tour and learn more about what programs they have to offer students. We will leave here at 9 am and get back around 1:30 - 2:00. I will be sending permission slips home next Thursday.

It feels like the kids are flying through their material, which is a great thing!

The 8th grade wrote myths and are presenting today. They are also well underway on their Sugar Skulls for art.
My beautiful babes. 

Painting the "skulls"!

I said, "Act normal". And this is what I get... :) 

Matthew is concentrating hard on his skull.


The 7th grade is on to unit 3 already which focuses on theme. I think they are eager to get done with their units so they can start reading novels together.

The 6th grade is still focusing on the major elements of a story. Yesterday they had to analyze excerpts of Anne Frank's diary and explained what her perspective was on the Holocaust. It was pretty deep thinking, but a lot of them were able to figure it!
