write a descriptive essay and present their family to the class in
Spanish. Eighth Grade: The 8th graders will begin in Unidad 8:
Ir de vacaciones (On vacation). Students will learn vocabulary and
structures to describe vacations and sightseeing. Students will also

irregulars).
ART
Mr. Beaman's Web Site
January is here! Eighth grade is working on multi media images
that they started before break during their art class and will start
using a program called Scratch in Art/Tech. Should be exciting. Seventh
grade is doing two projects at the same time. They have sculpted
images representing symbols of everyday life. We will be finishing them
soon. The other project is an Art/Tech project using a program called
Seashore. This is a design unit about stamps.
Art Club is meeting every Monday morning at 7:30 am. 37 students have made the commitment to this club. It is great to see the excitement about art through these students.

We are very excited to give back to the parish by sharing our time and talent. The choir should come to the church by 8:45 to warm-up and practice before Mass. We hope you can join us!The General Music Classes continue to work on the guitar. It is fun to see them progress as they learn how to hold and play the guitar. We will learn the notes on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings and then play "Ode to Joy".
