Literature Assignments: After reading and discussing Robert Hayden's poem, "Those Winter Sundays," we viewed the short film adaptation on our website (see the link below). Students are to fill in the comparison and contrast chart to prepare for a short composition. See Jupiter for due dates. We also have started our vocabulary study for the year. Our words will come from the literature selections. Students will keep an ongoing stack of flashcards, and we will have quizzes whenever we learn 20 new words. Quizzes will be announced. See the link below for our first list. Writing Assignments: We continue to work with our sentence-composing exercises. This week will study the Opening Adverb and the Delayed Adverb strategies. Check in later this week for links to our assignments. Please complete IXL HH.8 and HH.9 to support our work. See Jupiter for due dates. Comments are closed.

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
O Jesus, You who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, let me not be deceived by false teaching. Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for me. Amen. Mary, Undoer of Knots,

O source of all Wisdom, Christ the Teacher,
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Teach us to embrace the truths You have revealed to Your Church. Fill our souls with Your Grace that we may love God above all and our neighbors as ourselves. Christ Jesus, friend and Teacher most patient, bless us and teach us. O Light of the world, teach us always to follow You that we should not walk in darkness, but have forever the Light of Life! Amen. Archives
