Scholar's Bowl -- 7th and 8th grade

By -
For any 7th graders interested in competing for SHOJ next year or for 8th graders wanting to compete for their high school:

On behalf of St. James Academy's Scholars Bowl team and sponsor, Joe Walberg, I invite your Scholars Bowl/Quiz Bowl team members to participate in a summer camp on June 1-5, 2015, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at St. James. We'll tackle such concepts as: What Is Scholars Bowl? How can I be a better teammate? Learn strategies for competing, working as a team, and dissecting questions to get to the root of the correct answer! What a great opportunity to learn the nuts and bolts of this rewarding State High School Activities Association quiz game. Please share this invitation with your school's Scholars Bowl/Quiz Bowl participants. We hope to make an impact on your team's future success!

Go to our online registration page, https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-enrichment-opportunities-at-sja-tickets-16089166129, enter the registrant quantity in the white box next to Scholars Bowl Enrichment, and then "Order Now" at the bottom of the page.

We're excited for faith families tomorrow! The 8th graders are doing a wonderful job leading. The 7th graders have also been great role models for the first grade buddies in Mass. They also had the chance to help the first graders to make their prayer books. It surprised them to remember that they once practiced saying the Hail Mary, which now comes so easily. Your student will be bringing home information about a service project that we are participating in as faith families. One faith family plays a game to get to know each other.  Each eighth grader helps lead about ten students.  Check out those neon prayer books!    Almost done!  Seventh graders and first graders hard at work.

This week, we have started writing our National Novel Writing Month project, where students are trying to write a word-count goal they set for themselves. We're also finishing our read aloud, Fish , and tying in some SCOPE nonfiction text about refugees and child labor laws throughout the world.
