WELCOME!

CONGRATS TO 8TH GRADERS! 8th grade Confirmation tests were AMAZING! I am so, So, SO proud of all of you on your accomplishment!! Keep up the good work... only about 6 weeks until the BIG Day! :)

** The purpose of this blog is to be a resource for students and parents to provide an overview of the weekly agenda and assignments in 6th grade Reading and M/S Religion. Please know that my lesson plans posted on here are as accurate as can be. However, they are not set in stone and can change throughout the week. If there are any changes, the students will be made aware of them in class and it is their responsibility to adjust accordingly.**

8th Grade Religion 10/17-10/21

Pop-Quiz Fun!  Pop quizzes for Confirmation facts have begun again!  They are earlier than last year since the test is much earlier this year.  Students are learning bits of information that will be on their final Confrimation test in February.  A lot of this is root memorization so I have set the ball running.  These pop quizzes are entered in as assignments, not tests, so students have opportunities to recover if they do poorly. HOWEVER, students should be looking over their information at least 1-2 times a week.
**7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit, Sacraments (Initiation, Healing, Service), 12 Apostles, 4 marks of the Church...

Also, 8th grade is working their way through chapter 1 in their Confirmation book.  They will have a vocabulary test every few chapters and also journals and activities to work on in class.  Participation is HUGE while we spend time in the Confirmation book, so please be attentive!
