Saints Unit
This unit meets the Archdioceasan outcomes for sixth grade regarding Catholic Saints.
There are several ways we will study and share information about specific saints.
- Saint-of-the-Day project asks you to research and share your findings with the Middle School during our morning prayer time.
- Wax Museum Saint project asks you to get to know a Saint so well that you "become" that person and present to small groups of students and adults.
