Seventh Grade

Hello Parents! We are so pleased to have your children as our scholars this year. We have many fun and learning-centered activities planned. In math, we are beginning our year working on Scaled Drawings. In order to do scaled drawings, we look at ratios and multiplication facts. Keep practicing those facts!

In ELA, scholars are reading "A Long Walk to Water". They are using this piece of literature to study Point of View and how the setting shapes a character and the plot. In Social Studies/History, scholars are diving into the Scientific Revolution and the main people involved. Our budding scientists are learning about force and motion. They should be working on their vocabulary each night.

As an 8th grade we have been focusing this week on team building activities, our grade level norms, and our NWEA testing.

-In Science, 8th graders are learning about traits and looking at their own personal traits to see which ones are dominant and which are recessive.

-In Language Arts, students are learning a variety of reading strategies such as Cornell notes, and also starting their novel "Summer of the Mariposas".

-In Mathematics, 8th grade has begun learning about Rigid Transformations and Congruence.
