My Class List

I received my class list today and I have 13 eighth graders: 8 boys and 5 girls. Of course I would have hoped for a better gender balance but oh, well! I’ll be planning my lesson this weekend and gearing up to go Monday evening. Have a nice weekend!

p.s. a shout-out to all the wonderful catechists I met in Iowa on Wednesday and Thursday!

  1. Good luck this year. We have our kickoff catechist meeting and receive our class list tomorrow/Saturday and begin class for junior high kids Wednesday. As always, trying to shake off the cobwebs as anticipation grows.

    This year, first class will include mandatory meeting with the patents for the first time so really looking forward to it.
