The class discussion and the online activities allowed us to understand how the people of Catalhoyuk lived. Also, you could picture how long and hard the work was when some of the archaeologists had to dig up the whole entire city.
Hello 7th graders,
We have been going over connections we have with the Roman Empire today. Remember to keep in mind that our goal is to compare and contrast modes of travel in 150 A.D. with those of use today, and assess the impact of modern technology on communication.

Dear students and parents,
Our start to the new school year is fast approaching and we here in the Jr. High are excited to get started with the new school year. We are happy to welcome two new dedicated teachers to our Jr. High faculty. Mr. Bradlin will be the 6th grade homeroom, Jr High Math, and 6th and 8th grade Religion teacher. Ms. Cordero will be the 7thgrade homeroom, 7th Religion, and 7th & 8th Language Arts teacher.
Summer Reading
All students in the Jr. High are encouraged to read over the summer in order to build good readers. To assist parents and students with the selection of appropriate materials, links were placed on the St. Jerome Jr. High page and on EdZone. There are no test/projects with summer reading for the 7th and 8th graders; however, I ask that all students complete reading logs for each book they have read and at least one plot outline from one of the books that is on the reading log.
For your convenience, I have placed the links below in the event that you have not been able to locate the summer reading lists, plot outline, and reading log.

The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2011 celebrates the fact that Catholic schools are an added value (“a plus”) for the nation. Because of their traditionally high academic standards and high graduation rates, all supported by strong moral values, Catholic schools and their graduates make a definite contribution to American society.The logo designed for the week displays the words “A+ For America, Catholic Schools” beneath a stylized banner of stars and stripes in red and light blue.
The 7,094 Catholic elementary and secondary schools make up 44.4 percent of all private schools in the United States.
A Catholic-school education is available in all regions of the nation. Urban schools represent 30.7 percent of the total, suburban 36.5 percent, rural 20.5 percent and inner- city schools 12.3 percent. The five states with the highest student enrollment are California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
Catholic Schools Week is a joint project of NCEA and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
