Hello SUMMER!!!
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot. - Olaf
Lenten Promises
After reviewing and discussing common Lenten practices and traditions, the eighth grade, as a group, have decided to give up 5 minutes of talking at lunch each day, to show Jesus how much he means to us. The class is also going to work on their behavior and are striving for the goal of "no negative reports" from any staff members of the school. To increase our prayer practices, the eighth grade will be taking time each day 5 to pray the rosary as a class. We are happy to make these promises in remembrance of the sacrifices and struggles that Jesus endured for us.

Eighth grade assisting in PBL's
Recently, eighth grade has shifted focus in math class in order to help a few younger grades with projects they are working on. Kindergarten, first, second and third graders needed our help to scale down the size of the Titanic so they could build a replica of it at school, as they learn about this momentous occasion in history! Second grade also asked us to help them with their map of Amherst, which required knowledge of the same standard. We helped them scale down the distances between popular Amherst locations for them to include on the map. They intend for this map to be a resource for families at school who are new to Amherst. Eighth grade worked hard at learning and applying dilations of figures on a coordinate grid to prepare them to work with the dimensions the younger grades provided for us. We had a great time using these opportunities to tackle one of our geometry standards!
