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.**
