WE ARE COMPANIONS ON A JOURNEY!

Welcome to Room 203 and Mrs. Smith's Webpage!

               

  

 

Happy October!

 Today, October 7th is the Feast of the Holy Rosary.   Our 7th graders watched a video – “The Day the Sun Danced” about 3 young children in Fatima, Portugal.   Mary appeared to these children and asked them to pray the rosary.   She specifically asked them to pray the rosary every day and offer up acts of sacrifice to bring sinners back to God.   Our 7th and 8th graders will be praying a decade of the rosary every day during the month of October.   

 

The 8th graders are off to Washington D.C. today through Friday.   I miss them already but am very happy that so many were able to go – it’s a great opportunity and I’m hoping that all of our current 7th graders go next year!   Happy birthday to Mrs. Poltrock   - her birthday is tomorrow – she is in Washington as a chaperone along with Mrs. Jackson.  

 

Please also note that I have set aside Tuesdays from 3-4 P.M. to work with kids on extra math help.   Please send a note to school if your son/daughter would like to stay.   I really think this helped many kids last year – please consider it seriously.   Please also note that I am trying to update the homework section of this website every day – you can check it and compare it with your son/daughters homework assignment notebook.

 

 

 

 Upcoming Dates/Events:

 

7-8th grade                                                        Ropes Course at Covenant Harbor/Snake

                                                                        Road Adventure Camp on Lake Geneva

                                                                        October 28

 

We will be scheduling a parent meeting for 7th and 8th grade parents – watch for a date in the near future

 

I would also like to try to schedule a walking field trip to the St. Mary’s Cemetery for the 8th grade class during the early part of November, the month of All Souls and All Saints days for a short prayer service.   Please let me know if you would also like to walk with us – visiting the graves of the saints is an ancient form of veneration- honoring and remembering our loved ones who are part of the Communion of Saints is a beautiful and honored tradition.

 

*8th grade algebra students and parents – please look for more communication coming soon about opportunities to supplement the math curriculum with our current course 3 materials.   As it stands now, there are some areas in the math curriculum – for example, geometry, measurement, right triangle geometry, trigonometry, probability and statistics and problem solving strategies -   that for the most part are not covered in great detail in regular algebra.    I would like to provide opportunities for our algebra students to cover these areas and join our 8th grade class   – this would not be punitive at all – just an excellent opportunity to learn more in an area that is so very important for their futures.   I want to stress that this is not meant to make more work for the kids; it is meant to help them with minimal inconvenience.

 

Thank you for your support – I am very happy to be part of the St. Mary’s family. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.     Please know that I sincerely want to see your sons and daughters enjoy school and enjoy learning.   We will work very hard this year - responsibility and accountability will be stressed, but I will be available for extra help after school on a regular basis.
