Hello and Happy February! The students have continued to improve on their reading and writing. We have also added on a presentation to round out their communication goals. This unit has been a great one about overcoming adversity.
It's so hard to believe we are 2/3 of the way through the year. It is truly flying by. Please contact us if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming conferences.
Thank you,
Mrs. Foster and Ms. Lamberti

The students did an amazing job on their Black History Month Projects. We did our Gallery Walk this week and it was amazing to see all the hard work that many students put into their projects.
Next up for Social Studies is the Lincoln Book. This book will take us through the life of Lincoln and the Civil War. We will do a DBQ (Document Based Questions) while reading the book. We will also have quizzes on the Lincoln Book Chapters. Our first quiz will be on Chapters 1 and 2 (A Day Students on Tuesday/B Day Students on Wednesday).
Students are still having a difficult time remembering to bring their headphones to class. Please check with your student to see if they need some for school. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Hello Everyone!
As we approach the middle of March, we just completed our unit 5 quiz which consisted of adding and subtracting positive and negative integers and fractions. Next we will move onto multiplying and dividing integers and fractions.
Throughout this unit, students have explored how to utilize the number line and counters to solve problems involving adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.
Please make sure your student is completing the lesson practice work (in Amplify) and any assignments in Google Classroom. All work is to be turned in before the unit quiz or end-of-unit assessment, whichever comes first.
Caregiver guides hold valuable information to show you what we are doing in class and how to best help your child. Please let your child's math teacher know if you would like a printed copy of the caregiver packet.

In advanced math, we just started unit 6, Data. Students are constructing and interpreting scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities.

As always, students are welcome to attend Math Homework Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Mr. Beltran's classroom until 4:30 PM for extra help or a quiet space to work. Students may attend as needed and there is no charge for this service.

Dear parents/guardians,
Happy Families!
We started a new unit Turtle SOS. Students were introduced the life of green sea turtle. They began the journey of building an incubator to save and transfer the turtle eggs into a safe place.
Our goal in this unit is to undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.
Moving forward, students will be working with small groups and constantly testing their device in order to meet their ideal goals. The materials will be provided. However, if some students happen to have some old newspaper they want to get rid of, they are welcome to bring to school.
Lastly, as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I am here to help out.
Thank you,
Hannah Zhang

--- Bienvenidos a un nuevo curso ---
Yo seré el profesor de Spanish Language Arts (Español) y de Social Studies (en español). A través de este blog podrán mantenerse actualizados acerca de las actividades que se llevarán a cabo en nuestro departamento. Les deseo un curso lleno de emociones y de alegrías.
Estas primeras semanas de curso hemos aprendido a escribir una carta personal correctamente y hemos escrito una que debería de llegar a su destino.

Ms. Everett- everett.jennifer@d46.org
Hello families! My name is Jennifer Everett and I’m the Reading Specialist working with your 7th grader this year. I’m excited to support their growth as readers and help them build confidence and strategies that last a lifetime.
Quick Tip: Encourage your child to talk about what they’re reading, even just a quick “What’s happening in your book?” at dinner or in the car. Talking about books makes reading more meaningful and fun!

Welcome Panthers to an exciting 2025-2026 school year. I will be co teaching with Mrs. Foster in ELA and Mr. Beltran in Math. I have been getting to know the students in each of their classes and what they enjoy in school. I will support any students within the class and pull for testing/ accommodations they have in their IEP/ 504 plans. I am looking forward to having a great year.

A Note About
PANTHER BLOCK
Panther Block is the first part of our day at GMS. During this time, students may attend band, choir, or specific individual interventions. Our school-wide focus for all students in a team-based WIN class is improvement in mathematics. Many students have the opportunity to work with their math teacher individually and in small groups, participate in reteaching of concepts learned in math class, and build skills that will prepare them for future success in math class. In addition, all GMS students have access to online math skill-building tools. For most students, those two tools are MATHia (connected to our grade level math resource) and DreamBox (a game-like tool that adapts to students' individual math performance), but can include many other online math tools determined by students' needs.

Nuestro enfoque en toda la escuela para todos los estudiantes en una clase WIN basada en el equipo es la mejora en matemáticas. Muchos estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de trabajar con su profesor de matemáticas individualmente y en pequeños grupos, participar en la reenseñanza de los conceptos aprendidos en la clase de matemáticas, y construir habilidades que los prepararán para el éxito futuro en la clase de matemáticas. Además, todos los alumnos de GMS tienen acceso a herramientas de desarrollo de habilidades matemáticas en línea. Para la mayoría de los estudiantes, esas dos herramientas son MATHia (conectada a nuestro recurso de matemáticas de nivel de grado) y DreamBox (una herramienta similar a un juego que se adapta al rendimiento individual de los estudiantes en matemáticas), pero puede incluir muchas otras herramientas de matemáticas en línea determinadas por las necesidades de los estudiantes.

Students continue to work on visualizing strategies along with the podcast " 6-minutes" during our bell-ringer rotation. We will continue to work on developing writing skills, with a focus on paragraph writing structure using the RACES writing model.
We are concluding our Argumentative Unit " Should the U.S use valuable resources to explore space?" Students are producing a creative writing piece, extending an original story, focusing on plot elements and conflict.
Students will also create a visual presentation, including a claim and supporting evidence.
Please remember to look over google classroom with your student. Ask them to show you the work they are most proud of!

As a reminder, students have the option to correct work for additional credit, including assessments. Students can request a pass to see me during Panther Block, and I also incorporate time into class for corrections following the assessments.
Students recently took an assessment on expressions, and we just started our unit on equations.
Please remember to review infinite campus and google classroom with your student. Ask them to show you the work they are most proud of!

EVOLVE
Our SEL (Social/Emotional Learning) groups will run again this year! I am thrilled to be the 7 Gold EVOLVE circle facilitator! Our first group is Tuesday, September 30th, during Panther Block. Evolve is an opportunity to build relationships and friendships in a safe and fun environment. This first cycle will run for 13 weeks. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me at schmid.yvonne@d46.org if you have any questions about this amazing program.

Missing Work - Students are encouraged to keep up on their grades through Infinite Campus. If any work is missing, students should look up which assignments are missing and complete those as soon as possible. Any questions, please have your child speak with that teacher.
Late Work: Late work is accepted without a point penalty until the end of the unit. Assignments turned in after the end of the unit are subject to a point penalty.
Homework Club - This club meets Monday through Thursday, 3:20-4:30 in the library. Students do not need to sign up to attend; they can come on an individual need basis. There will be no buses available, so students will need to be picked up.
