7th Grade

Students have finished reading spooky stories and will be writing their starting on Monday. Here students will show that they understand plot, dialogue, and figurative language by creating their own stories. This will take us through October and into a little bit of November.  

Students have already taken their Mid-Module 1 Assessment over Proportional Relationships. There were silly mistakes made, but we had big conversations over the importance of checking our solutions to ensure they make sense with the problem! Students' also took the class time to work through their tests again and make any corrections. We are wrapping up the module and will be completing a scale drawing project for the End-of-Module Assessment. They will be recreating a candy bar of their choice--directions and a rubric will be handed out soon!

Next, we will be moving onto Module 2, where we will be working with rational numbers! 

We just finished discussing the Articles of Confederation. Students should be to determine the ultimate flaws of the Articles of Confederation that led to our founding fathers gathering for the constitutional convention. We will be analyzing the constitutional convention for the next two weeks. We will have a quiz over the Articles of Confederation and the Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists later next week. I am very proud of my civics students and excited for the rest of the semester. Please reach out if you ever need anything.  

This month 7th grade is learning about cells. They are about to start their cell model project where they get to choose to model cells by making a clay model, digital model, drawing, story, or a song or rap. After that students will take a test over the first 3 units. I have review games posted on google classroom if they would like to study early!
