While Language Arts has been relegated to take a seat on the bench in many schools and institutions, we at Long Beach Catholic Regional School still place great emphasis on learning grammar, studying vocabulary, writing extensively, and reading varied literary genres.
It is my pleasure to continue to produce winning students with exceptional Language Arts skills. The success of our LBCRS graduates is the proof that when provided a strong foundation there are no limits.

Weekend Kick Off to Catholic Schools Week. Liturgy at St. Ignatius- - Sunday - 9:45am.
In preparation for midterms, all Middle School grades are reviewing grammar and vocabulary.
6th Grade is accumulating information on the life of sea turtles from different sources: information articles, video, stories. They will write a paper of approximately 8 pages using prior learned techniques and new: quotes, imbedded images, captions, subheadings, footnotes, work cited.
7th Grade read three genres: myth, origin tale, oral tradition. All have to do with 'the origin of fire'. Students will use this material as a warm up paper of three to four pages, incorporating all the techniques they have learned (quotes, imbedded images, captions, subheadings, footnotes and more), before we begin studying various topics of the universe and begin a much larger and extensive paper.
8th Graders were supplied topic choices on the decades of the 1960s and 70s. They will research and write on their topics while also including songs and lyrics of the 60s and 70s that help define their topics.
