Seventh and Eighth Grades
Welcome to Mrs. Cornwell’s 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes. This is my 10th year at St. Anthony’s School. I love teaching at this school because of the fantastic students and parents but most importantly because of the common thread that binds us together, our Catholic faith. The students at St. Anthony’s will be the future leaders of our community and it is my commitment to impart to them the wisdom necessary to create and maintain a community of compassion and equality for all.
In Language Arts we have a focus on the 6+1 Writing Traits. This includes learning each of these traits independently, then collectively. We also focus on Vocabulary building skills and Literature.
In 7th grade Religion, Our Church History, we will focus on learning about our Catholic faith from its beginning to present day. The laptop program will allow the students to create timelines, power points, and newspapers. In addition the students will be able to explore Catholic websites and visit the Vatican via the web.
In 8th grade Religion, Morality, the students will reflect on their values, self-image, and relationships. In addition we will celebrate the Year of the Priesthood. On Friday, June 19,2009, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI decided to inaugurate a Year for Priests in celebration of the 150th anniversary of St. John Vianney, the patron saint for parish priests. This year is meant to deepen the commitment of all priests for the sake of a stronger witness to the Gospel in today’s world. We will also pray for an increase in vocations.
The drama elective is vibrant and strong. This year’s Christmas program will prove to be another hit! All Lindsey wants for Christmas is…..everything she sees! And while she is pouting over her mother’s true words about why we celebrate Christmas, Lindsay finds some new friends…cool “toy” friends that come alive to her. Together they discover the true meaning of the season. All I Want for Christmas teaches a wonderful lesson about the ultimate gift God gave to us!
