WELCOME TO MRS. ESLER'S 8th GRADE CLASS! 

Hard to believe we are already in the Advent Season. 8th graders are preparing for their Sacrament of Confirmation. They will be choosing their sponsors soon and writing letters to them. They will also need to choose a Confirmation name/Saint. Sorry everyone, St. Sebastian is off the table as he is the Saint chosen for 8th grade graduation.

8th History & Literature: In history having completed the westward transformation, we have entered industry and urbanization. In literature we've been studying several Native American authors but will end December reading/watching Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life".

7th Literature: We are finishing up with Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol". We've listened to the audio book and will round it off with the movie version starring Patrick Stewart. 

6th Social Studies: We are reading about the Phoenicians and the Hebrews. It is so interesting to draw the comparisons from religion to history. After all, the Bible was the first history book written!

I wish each and everyone of you a very Blessed Christmas and New Year's wishes for health and happiness to all.

All School Masses (grade 1-8) will be posted the week before.
