Welcome to Eighth Grade! |
| Our
Eighth Grade students are completing their tenure at MSW. Our goal is
that by the end of the year they are prepared for high school and for
the world. In language arts, the students are thinking, questioning,
connecting and discussing literature in thoughtful and educated ways,
through a variety of approaches to literary analysis. Literary
selections are connected with the writing assignments allowing students
to examine literature in greater depth. Drama is introduced in eighth
grade as well and students see literature come to life through plays.
The accelerated and regular math curriculum transitions students from
pre-algebra to algebra I, with attention given to maintaining skills and
introducing new concepts. Eighth graders are focusing on physical
science, studying matter, energy, chemistry and physics. The material
covered in U.S. history begins with the Reconstruction period and
extends through present day. In addition, the students travel to
Washington D.C. to experience U.S. history more closely and see
democracy in action. In religion class and throughout the day, the
students prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation by developing a deep,
personal relationship with the Holy Spirit through prayer, commitment,
sacrament and service.
