Catholic Schools Week: Fun and Learning

As you'll see from the photos below, we managed to have a lot of fun during Catholic Schools Week.  Amidst all this fun, we also managed to do a lot of learning:
  • Sixth grade social studies created a detailed timeline of famous events in ancient Roman History.
  • Seventh grade English developed a practice website on extreme sports, complete with arguments regarding the rights and responsibilities of athletes.
  • Eighth grade English learned how to formulate a thesis and began writing a practice "creative" research paper on the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919, in preparation for writing their "real" research papers.
