Doings, Happenings, and Goings-On 1/27/20

In 7th Grade Religion the Taking-On-A-Life-Of-Its-Own Acts 11 & 12 Quiz has once again been re-scheduled, this time for Wednesday. Today we were tasked to build our blessing bags. And thank you all for contributing the materials to build with. 
 
Everything else is pretty much the same:
 
6th Grade SS Quiz tomorrow
7th Grade SS Test on Thursday
8th Grade SS Test on Friday
 
Toodles. 

Where Things Stand 1/24/20

7th Grade Religion - I did a little polling and decided that things would not go so well if we had the Acts quiz or Mass Response re-take on Friday. So, Monday it is.  Those taking the Mass Response re-take will take the Acts quiz on Wednesday. Acts 11 & 12. (Acts 10 wasn't quizzed because in Acts 11, Peter tells the other apostles what happened in Acts 10).
 
6th Grade Social Studies Quiz - Looks pretty locked-in for Tuesday. Same format as the first United States quiz. This one is just on the southern states. 
 
7th Grade Social Studies Test - Thursday. The Founding Father Presidents, plus Quincy Adams and good ol' Andrew Jackson. 
 
8th Grade Social Studies Test - Friday. I had it planned much earlier in the week  but the 8th grade is going to be particularly busy during my early-morning SS periods this Catholic Schools Week. This one is on the bulk of WWI, which, thanks to great cinematography, might be in vogue again soon. 
 
Have a swell weekend.  See a lot of you Sunday.

Homework and Various Updates

No homework, but...
 
The Mass Response re-take will be FRIDAY (I know I said Wednesday before, but things happened). 
 
Please have your 7th graders bring in stuff for the "blessing baskets" this week. See Friday's handout for details.  Didn't see Friday's handout?  Buttonhole your 7th grader for details.
 
Upcoming Tests...All NEXT week:
 
Next Tuesday - 6th grade Social Studies - Southern States
Next Wednesday - 8th grade Social Studies - The rest of World War I
Next Thursday - 7th grade Social Studies - Presidents Washington through Jackson.
 
That is all. 

Acts/Mass Response Update

Hola,
 
Because of the Science Fair presentations going on today and tomorrow, and in honor of Andrea's birthday and Ema's half birthday, I'm pushing back the Acts Quiz and Mass Response re-take until next week Wednesday (Monday being a day off and Tuesday being a Mass day). 
 
They still owe me an article in Social Studies tomorrow.  But I'm trying to be copacetic. 
 
Word 'em up.

Homework 1/15

7th Grade Religion - Alive in Christ chapter 16 (pg. 262) for Thursday.
 
8th Grade Social Studies - W.J. Bryan's letter to the English Ambassador, reading and questions for Thursday.
 
And we'll have articles on Friday...never too early to get those done!
 
Keep it real,
K.D-C. 

Homework 1/13

There isn't any...
 
But the 7th Grade will have a quiz Friday on Acts 10 & 11, and also anyone who has to or wants to re-take the "Mass Response" quiz, this is your next and hopefully final chance. 
 
And with your spirit. 

Homework 1/9/20

7th Grade Religion - Quiz on Acts 8 & 9 tomorrow.  We read them in class but reading them again wouldn't be a bad idea...or take long.
 
It's Article Day for everyone tomorrow.  All Middle School Social Studies classes have an article due.
 
Yay!

Homework 1/8/20

7th Grade Religion - Alive in Christ chapter 15 (pg. 246) for Thursday.
 
8th Grade SS - Woodrow Wilson speech questions (handout) for Thursday. 
 
Live long and prosper. 
 

Homework 1/7/20

Hola!
 
7th Grade SS - George Washington reading and questions for Wednesday.
 
That is all. 

Homework 1/6/20

Oh, the humanity!
 
6th grade SS - map of the Southeast states due tomorrow.
 
That is all. 

Tests/Quizzes

6th & 8th Grade SS Quizzes tomorrow (Wednesday) on New England/Middle Atlantic states and Spanish-American War/WWI respectively. 
 
7th Grade test Thursday on Amendments 6-14 and 19. 
 
It all cases, the information necessary comes from the PPs. 

Homework, 12/2

7th Grade Religion - Alive in Christ Chapter 11 and Quiz on Acts 1-3, both on Wednesday.  The re-take for the Mass Response Quiz will be one week from today.
 
7th Grade Social Studies - 8th Amendment worksheet for Tuesday.  Test corrections are due Thursday for all students who want to do them.  As I told the kids on Wednesday, they need to send me an email to get the directions.  They have to demonstrate at least that much interest.
 
6th Grade Social Studies - map of New England due Tuesday.
 
The next round of SS tests, 6th, 7th, and 8th, will be the last Thursday before Christmas Break

7th Grade Tests Rescheduled

A lot of kids have been sick this week, and several for multiple days.  I had already told five kids that they could take the SS and Religion tests on Monday. With more out today, I've decided to move both tests to Monday for everyone. Make this Sunday a Studyin' Sunday!
