8th grade parents,   T.J. and Nate's lunch is on Monday. The 8th grade would like to wear pink and yellow in their honor if you could remind them.  Also, the money for class shirts are due on Tuesday.  Happy Thanksgiving!

The 6th grade read Scout's Honor  which was about three New York boys setting off on a camping trip with zero experience and not a lot of camping gear. I made stations to accompany the story. Here are a few pictures... This group needs to discuss and compromise on bringing only two resources with them into the wilderness to survive. After they decide, they had to write a reasoning to support their choice.  This group had a tub of materials and their job was to build a shelter they could use for when they are in the wilderness.  In our story Scout's Honor  the boys had to use a compass and use a map to find their camping spot.

8th Grade Parents,   Heads up! Your child SHOULD be bringing home some information on their class shirt. Throughout the years I have noticed the 8th grade is not so good at bringing home information so... They picked a really neat blue tie-dye shirt. They will have the St. Malachy logo on the front with their name and graduating year on the back. Every year the 8th grade designs a class shirt and we wear them on special occasions such as field trips or the last day of school. They are only $18! If you would like your child to have one, please send money by November 21st. Checks can be made out to Lora Pellman. Thanks!  Dates to keep in mind:  November 17th is the end of the trimester.  Wednesday the 22nd through the 24th we do not have school in honor of Thanksgiving.  8th Grade: In honor of The Day of the Dead, the 8th grade made sugar skulls! Actually we used plaster and painted them, but they turned out really neat!  We also learned about Picasso and cubism.
