- Academics

Welcome
January 2021

My name is Frank Beltran and I am the 8^th grade teacher here at St Adelaide Academy.
I have been teaching here at St Adelaide for ten years. I am currently teaching Religion for all of Middle School, Algebra & Intermediate Algebra, 8^th grade Language Arts & Social Studies.

Currently in 6^th grade Religion, we are studying how God continues his covenant with His people through the life of Moses. We are studying the Ten Commandments and how they apply in our lives.

In 7^th & 8^th grade Religion we are studying the person of Jesus Christ, both his human and divine natures, and His fulfillment of the Old Testament. We study Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection. As we come to the close of the Christmas season & begin a brief period of Ordinary Time, we are learning about the names of Jesus.

Currently in Algebra, we are studying one and Multi-step equations. Our intermediate Algebra students are studying Exponents and Exponential functions.

In Social Studies, we are continuing our study of American history. We began with looking how our nation’s moral and spiritual values are rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition and our ideas of government are rooted in the Greco-Roman tradition of the republic. We are currently studying the events that brought about independence from Britain and the formation of the Declaration of Independence.

Our 8th Grade will do STAR Testing on January 12 & 13.

As we journey through the close of Christmas and into Ordinary Time , I ask God to bless us all with the joy and peace of God which surpasses all understanding in this difficult time in which we live. I wish all of our students and families a blessed Happy New Year.

Mr. Frank Beltran
