8th Grade Religion  Miss Connie Kordick   ckordick@cr-cath.pvt.k12.ia.us

• After we read a magazine article on the Magi, each student wrote six goals based on that reading.  These will be our goals for the rest of the year, and are displayed on each student's locker.
• We will finish most of the Sexuality unit that came with the Religion series. You should have already seen the first parent-student worksheet.  Please sign across the top of the worksheet and send it back to me.
• We will finish the six videos that are part of the special 8th program. This has been a great program for us to have at our disposal.  I hope some of these videos have sparked conversation at home.
• I can't believe the year is almost over -- may these 23 students enjoy God's grace and peace in their lives.  Thanks to all of you for the support of religion projects and activities.
