More Dancing Pictures!
Apparently, there were some parents who were a bit disappointed that there were no pictures of their children dancing. Mind you, I tried; however, some students just didn't want to be seen dancing! But today, I used my stealth and captured some exciting moments of Eli (and others) dancing!

Dancing With the 8th Graders
I'm sure you've heard grumblings about the dance unit in P.E. I thought I'd share the shots I took today!
Weekly Update
Wow! The kids sure are excited that it's May! We just have to keep them reigned in a little while longer. We had a really great time with them on the camping trip--what a fun group of kids!
This week in Religion we saw a presentation by the Xavier Improv Troupe. They did skits and talked about making the right choices in high school. Appropriately, Deacon Randy came in the next day and spoke about similar topics, asking the students to think about where they will turn for guidance in high school. We will be continuing our study of Christianity spreading to Europe to round out the week.
In English, we are finishing up our review of adjectives. The students will take a quiz on the chapter tomorrow before we begin our final assessment--creating a menu that uses adjectives to promote the food.
In Literature, we finished reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. To review what they read, the students are writing a test with their novel groups. On Monday these tests will be exchanged and the students will see how much they learned from reading the book. They have received guidelines on how to write a good test. This will count as a quiz for them. Our final assessment of the book will come in the form of a speech. More on that next week!
Thank you to all who have sent cards or gifts or food for Teacher Appreciation Week. We are so blessed to be able to work with your children! God bless!
