The students are finishing up a unit on All Religions
in connection with our Diversity and Inclusion work
with projects of holidays from religions other than their own.
Literature
In reading class the students finished The Odyssey
and are busy now with analysis.
The first day back to in-person school, the students reported that it felt strange, and they would need some time to recover from virtual school. When asked what they think would help them recover, they said just talking with each other, telling stories. So at their request, homeroom in the morning is spent telling stories. They are silly stories, and they are right. Just sitting and talking, laughing, joking, and being silly together has seemed to help them retrieve a previous animation. What clever children.
Eighth grade is working diligently on a production of Romeo and Juliet. March is Women’s History Month when we will be celebrating Women in history. If you or someone you know would be willing to share with a class, a division , or multiple groups to enhance our celebration in any way, please email jmyers@holychildacademy.co m , and we will make it as easy as possible. Looking forward, April is Arab American Heritage Month, and May is Asian and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month. If you have ideas or suggestions for our celebrations for those months, please email jmyers@holychildacademy.com
