Mrs. Christine Boldt » Welcome

Welcome

Greetings! My name is Chris Boldt, and I teach Jr. High English. Please subscribe to my blog by clicking my name on the St. Juliana School website , where you can check for the latest homework assignments, quiz/test dates, and homeroom news. You can also contact me via email - [email protected]

I LOVE teaching English! My teaching philosophy is that learning is not a “one and done.”  It is a life-long journey, and school is the place to try and try again!  I strive to be a “confidence builder” for all of my students by supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves academically and beyond.

The students can count on me to do EVERYTHING I can to help them be successful in their writing and grammar skills by presenting an engaging, fun, and rigorous curriculum. I make myself available for assistance by:
- Class Time: encouraging students to ask questions & providing them clarification (smart kids ask questions…)
- Review Forums at 7:35 AM: Tuesdays (7th Grade), Wednesdays (8th Grade), Thursdays (6th Grade)
- Individual Help: students can sign up for assistance on the “English 911 Helpline” clipboard

CURRICULUM:
*Grammar Skills and Usage: Study of grammar concepts in the Grammar for Writing textbook, engaging review games and writing-based practice, weekly spiraled Daily Language Review (DLR) and Friday quizzes
*Writing Experiences: Descriptive, Informative/Expository, Fictional Narrative, Reflective Narrative, Persuasive. Our writing motto is “WRITE & REVISE”: ALL students are encouraged to revise writing assignments for extra points, regardless of the initial grade..
*Grading: homework, quizzes, tests, and projects will be graded on a point system
*Extra Credit: writing center activities, monthly word puzzles, and printing out of additional writing activities to place in writing portfolio.

- Writing Process is emphasized: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. 
- GENRES: Descriptive, Informative/Expository, Fictional Narrative, Reflective Narrative, Persuasive
- Independent Writing Activities:writing center and daily writing assignments, compiled in a Writing Portfolio.
- Students are responsible to print at home all writing assignments done on the computer or make arrangements with a classmate
- Our motto is “WRITE & REVISE”: ALL are encouraged to revise writing assignments for extra points, regardless of the initial grade
Mrs. Boldt is rooting for you!

Field Day Info

Dear St. Juliana Families,

     We are excited to finish up our first school year with our TEAMs initiative. We have seen all of our students get to know new friends across all grade levels who smile and wave in the hallways. Our activities throughout the year have included scavenger hunts, escape rooms, trivia, puzzles, the charity challenge and more. We look forward to continuing our TEAMs next year as well.

      On Friday, May 30, all classes kindergarten through seventh grades will participate with their TEAM in a Field Day at Brooks Park. The Field Day events will include fun activities for all ages. Your child will get wet and sweaty! Therefore, please send your child to school appropriately dressed for the weather that day which includes the TEAM t-shirt (no skirts or dresses), gym shoes only (no sandals, crocs, slides) and maybe a sweatshirt. Apply sunscreen at home. Water bottles should be labeled with your child’s name. At 12:00, everyone will return to the school for lunch. In case of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled.     

       Thank you so much for your support of this initiative to make SJS stronger together.


TEAM Committee

Exciting SJS SOCCER News!

 St. Juliana is excited to announce the addition of soccer to its athletic programs.  We will be playing in the North Shore Catholic Soccer league.  We will have a Junior Varsity team consisting of 5th and 6th grade co-ed members and a Varsity team consisting of 7th and 8th grade co-ed members.  Practice will begin in mid August with games starting the week before Labor Day.  Season will conclude in mid October.  Practices will be once or twice a week depending on the game schedule and we will play one or two games a week throughout the season.  Resurrection High School has been gracious enough to let us rent some field space for our home games with practices taking place mainly at Brooks Park.  Practice times will be determined by our coach, Angela Staveskie.  Parents will need to purchase their child's cleats, shin guards and socks.  Uniforms will be included in the price of registration of $100. Registration will open Wednesday May 14th.  Any questions, please email St. Juliana Athletic Director, Pat Aylward at [email protected].

Book Fair E-Wallet Info...

Thank you for supporting the fair!  What happens to eWallets after the Fair? 

After you close out the Fair, unused eWallet funds will convert to an eGift Card balance, which can be found in the account holder’s My Scholastic account. From here, families can:

1)      Use the balance to fund a new eWallet for a future Book Fair.

2)      Shop online with Scholastic.

Families will receive a monthly email reminder with their remaining balance, so they don't forget to spend their funds. They will never lose their funds.

8th Grade Donations Request

Greetings  8th Grade Families!
The Class of 2025 is currently working on a Catholic Schools Week project: composing a "toast" to their time at SJS by recalling the value of their Catholic education and memories made.  The students will ultimately be sharing their writing with the class on Thursday.  If possible, we will enjoy a small cup of sparkling grape juice after all toasts have been presented. 
If you are able, please send in a bottle of sparkling grape juice for our celebration.  Thank you so very much  :)
