The Monarch for Thursday, January 31st

Bishop Chatard students helped Miles learn about math and careers at our Math Fair last week.

In Mrs. Groves’s class...

This week in Sports Connection, we planned a trip for two to the Super Bowl. Their assignment was to find the grand total for two people to spend three days and two nights in the Phoenix area and attend the Super Bowl. This included tickets, airfare, hotel, meals, and tips. The students had to find the going rate for tickets. They discovered that the cheapest seats, in the upper level end zone were going for $1300.00 each. The most expensive tickets on the lower level between the thirty yard lines were about $12,000. The total costs ran from about $5,200 to $55,000 for two people to stay. Absolutely mind-boggling!.

In Mrs. Bryant’s class...

Sixth grade students will be having a science test tomorrow over the oceans. They should study their notes taken in class, their text, self-check questions, and chapter review.
On Friday, seventh grade students will learn how computers use the binary system to store information. They will then create a coded math puzzle and picture using the binary system of ones and zeroes, to be shared with a fellow student. Ask your son or daughter to share their puzzle with you.



Eighth grade students will be making series and parallel circuits tomorrow in class. Their test will be Monday. Since I have them for two periods on Monday, they should bring their questions to the first class, and they will then be tested during the second class. They should review their text, practice power and voltage problems, and notes taken in class from their Science notebook.

In Mr. Carlstedt’s class...

The sixth grade is wrapping up South America and preparing to embark for Europe.
The seventh grade will be comparing the cultures of Japan and China.
The eighth grade will be examining Jefferson and his impact on our country.

In Mr. Heneghan’s class...

I hope everyone is enjoying our eClassrooms. They are a great place to see the day’s homework—though not a replacement for the students’ assignment notebooks. They also have so much more, as I hope many of you are finding out. Starting last week, all of the middle school classes have been submitting assignments via this classroom. Check ‘em out! Read what your children are writing. Talk about it at home. This week’s assignment, called “Now MY Class Is In Session” is all about what class your kids would create for St. Joan of Arc. Some are highly entertaining.

In Mrs. Hasbrook’s class...


Ask your Spanish student what time it is and they should be able to tell you en espanol! All Spanish students will take their chapter test next week. Once we are finished with this chapter, we will begin composing letters to send with Mrs. Groves to Honduras. Mrs. Groves will be visiting a school while in Honduras and will deliver our letters and request return letters. We are very excited to have this unique "pen pal" opportunity.

7th and 8th grade DANCE

We will still have the North Deanery dance Friday night 2/1 UNLESS the IHM school is closed due to snow. To be sure students should check through the school closings Friday am to see if Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School, Indianapolis is closed.

If the dance is a go: SJA still needs volunteers! Anyone who attends this dance should send a volunteer, it’s the one dance the kids need to have their parents attend since we are the co-host. Also as a reminder, the cost of the dance is $6.00.
