Weekly Update

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas vacation! I know I did, but it's good to be back with the students.

This week the students have been busy researching and taking notes on their Great Lakes Lighthouses. They are finding out some interesting information. Next week we will be taking our field trip to the Port Washington Light Station, which will give them the opportunity to see a real lighthouse and climb into the lantern room. I did send out a reminder on Monday with important information. Please review that before the trip.

In Literature the students are finishing up the novel Animal Farm. Since they began their WWII unit in History this week, they have been noticing some very interesting parallels between the novel and the war.

In Religion we are studying the age of persecution in Christianity. We have been talking about martyrs that helped to spread our faith long ago as well as modern-day martyrs. The students will be researching a modern-day martyr next week.

God bless!
