Chapter 8 - Seasons of Praise

This week we start the first of two chapters covering our Liturgical (Church) year. We will look at the seasons of Lent-Easter this week, and next week we will look at Advent-Christmas. (They may download the study guide here.) Students will test over this Chapter (along with the Mass Responses - please see my web page) on Thursday. Finally, their Church projects are due next week - they may be brought in anytime between Monday & Friday.

And that's about it - I hope and pray y'all have a wonderful week!

Blessings & Peace,
Hugo De La Rosa III (Mr. D.) :-)

7th Grade Work & Project

7th Grade students are working on the Chapter 7 Vocabulary & Review Sheet. They are also working on a Seasonal Church Project that is due the first full week of December. The project usually takes a good amount of time to finish, so I encourage students to start early and work hard on it - it's worth two test grades and two homework grades.

Blessings & Peace,
Mr. D. :-)

7th Grade Retreat

Today's retreat went well. The day was focused on prayer, specifically Jesus' recomendations on prayer found in the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 6). Students had a chance to celebrate Mass at the Basilica as well time to visit the Gift Shop. Students will test over the Mass responses found on my website on Thursday, and they will test over the Chapter next Tuesday.

Blessings & Peace,
Hugo
