8th graders have been moving along quickly. We have just finished our unit on Moral Choices and the first three Commandments. They wrote convincing papers about why God commands us to go to Mass every Sunday, they performed clever commercials about the benefits of going to Mass, receiving the Eucharist, and the graces of the sacraments. As a final review they performed group parodies of songs with main points from their class discussions and notes.
Our next Unit will be all about Confirmation and getting the students ready for the Sacrament, the mastery test, and life as a mature Catholic. This will be an exciting unit to learn about the gifts received in Confirmation, the Saints that students may choose as their "forever guides" in their Catholic faith, and to understand even more about our mother, the Church and her teachings.
Service hour requirements for the last trimester is only 2 hours. Please encourage your students to get these in early in the trimester.
It's felt great to be back, thank you for all of your support. Your students are wonderful, thank you for sharing them with me!
