Speak Up: Crossing the threshold into our community of GBS we are committed to using language that makes everyone feel welcome and safe. We have a school wide focus to speak up when inappropriate words or phrases are being used or heard. We are always seeking ways to further improve the "GREAT" in Great Brook - after all we have great kids!
Community Service - all 7th graders should complete at least 15 hours of community service this year. Papers for documentation are located by the front office. Let's seek to make our community a happy, healthy and giving place to be.

Core Classes

Ms. Rice-Math lrice@conval.edu

Homework: Students have daily math homework which they should be encouraged to review and check for all work shown. Doing more than bare minimum only helps...

All Blocks: We are finding the perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of shapes.

Block A: Test this week

Blocks D and F: Quiz this week, Data Projects due in Final draft by Friday

Come during intervention (just ask your intervention teacher for permission) or recess if you need help or more time to do homework, classwork, quizzes, or tests. You can always make corrections to improve your learning (and your grade!)

STUDENTS WITH MORE THAN 5 ASSIGNMENTS OWED WILL BE ASSIGNED TO RECESS TO MAKE UP WORK AND GET EXTRA HELP!

Mrs. Leclerc-Science sleclerc@conval.edu

We've moved on to our Force and Motion Unit.
Students are focusing on Newton's Laws of Motion
Ask your student about their Laws of Motion comic strip!

Social Studies

Ms. Beliveau

rbeliveau@conval.edu

Social Studies classes are wrapping up their investigation of Ancient China with a fun CSI assessment activity that requires students to use their critical thinking skills. We will then be moving on to a short and sweet unit on Ancient Greece to wrap up our investigation of Ancient Civilizations!

Mrs. Halliday

shalliday@conval.edu

We have started our unit on Ancient China. Ask your student about this interesting society!

Mrs. Regis-Language Arts jregis@conval.edu

Weekly Homework: 50 pages from a book on level (which they have been bringing to class). Pages are due every Wednesday. Remember 50 pages is a minimum

MONTHLY JOURNALS :Tues and Thursdays bell-work is devoted to our monthly writing journal. Each student has time to write six complete sentences per slide. The journals are due at the end of the month. They get two weeks afterwards to complete or fix them and then the grade is set. Students are expected to complete missed journal entries or complete the slides at home if they did not finish them in class. Six sentences are a minimum - I encourage all bobcats to try and fill the slide. Students MUST have punctuation!

Current focus : Argument Essay

We have been gearing up for our Argument Essay and hope to finish strong!
