No Homework
Dear Families,
We had a breakthrough couple of days and I would like to reward both homerooms with a no homework pass for Monday and Tuesday. The children have worked hard and we have learned many things about putting our full effort into all of our assignments.

First Quarter Book Project
Book Project Due Friday October 27. The completed outlines must be stapled to the final typed copy.
Book Project
Good Morning!
The students will be responsible for writing a character change essay based on the coming of age novel they were to read independently over the course of the past few weeks. Yesterday I began to discuss the criteria. Students are to write a three paragraph essay. I will give them outlines for each paragraph. They are to fill in the information and then type up the essay using the paragraph outlines. The completed outlines are to be stapled to the typed final copy. The students will receive a packet with a rubric, additional paragraph outlines, and a sample essay. I will be going over each paragraph in detail with them. We began paragraph one yesterday. Paragraph two and three are to come this week as well as the packet. The project is due on October 27. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day!
Rosary Beads
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima, GCS will be praying the rosary in the church on Friday October 13th. Please send your child in with a rosary if possible. God bless you!

Middle School Library
Dear Families,
Ms. Nania, our wonderful school librarian is in the process of transforming our sixth grade team room into a middle school library. If you happen to have either a 5x7 or 8x10 area rug you do not want, please consider donating it for this room. Also, if you happen to have an unwanted love seat, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks so much for your continued generosity. God bless you!
