Wednesday's

Callahan plays the Cello in beginning orchestra. On Wed afternoons all 4th grade orchestra kids, from all 6 grammar schools meet at the Middle School to practice together. It gives them a leg up when they enter middle school. They are already familiar with each other.






One of the perks of living in the Western Suburbs is the amazing parks. The middle school sits on land with a large park, about 55 acres filled with trees, ponds and wild prairie grass . While Cal practiced we enjoyed the fall weather and colors.









Some much needed fresh air for TJ and some special time for Karrick with his favorite brother.

Lucky for TJ,
this election year ties right in with Social Studies. As we all remember what comes with 7th grade, The Constitution! What a great time to learn about our Government. TJ has a 80 question test on Article 1 of the Constitution, Thursday. It's a mighty tall order for someone that was sick 24 hrs earlier and spent the last 7 days with a cold and strep. I helped him study for an hour before religion class at Sacred Heart ( Wed 6:30 -8 pm) and Tim tested him after. We can prep him, but we can't take the test for him.
