This week students will be learning all about the inventions of medieval China! They will be doing a "Shark Tank" activity where they will pitch their assigned invention to the class.
Students will be working on this throughout the week and may need to work on/prepare for their presentations outside of class. All guidelines for this assignment can be found on our Google Classroom page.

Daily Agendas: Here are the Daily Agendas for our unit studying Gary Schmidt's The Labors of Hercules Beal.
While all students will receive a hard copy of the book, students are welcome to use the audiobook version to enhance their reading experience. The audiobook version can be found on Sora & Libby (although they may encounter waitlists because only so many copies are available) or on Hoopla (instant download for 21 days - just need to sign in with town library card). *Reading the class text can count towards their reading homework time.*
Homework Expectations: Students should be completing 20 minutes of reading Monday - Thursday. Students can choose to read a physical book, ebook, audiobook, newspaper, magazine, etc. They have time during the school day to go down to the library and/or pick a book from my classroom library. They also have access to an online book platform called Sora that has ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines that they should be familiar with at this point.

Hello All!
Happy December!
We are starting Unit 4 which reviews unit rates in the beginning of the unit and then focuses on percentages and other types of percent problems. For example, tax, tip, discounts, as well as percent increase or decrease.
We should be finishing this unit right before the holiday break at the end of the month. I plan to give the Unit 4 Summative Dec 18 & 19th.
Math Team -- Practice will continue during class if students have extra time, as well as during Hawk Times on Tuesday and Wednesdays. THURSDAY MORNINGS from 7:15-7:45 will be the time for Math Team practice if students cannot make the Hawk Time blocks.
Our MathCounts meet will be in February at Keene State college. The top 12 students will be invited to join for the day long competition. We leave before 8:00 am and will return around 3:00pm.
Pre-Algebra
Pre- Algebra work continues to happen during class as well as Hawk Time blocks on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Pre-Algebra time will also be available on THURSDAY MORNINGS from 7:15-7:45 along with the math team work. The current unit 4 in 7th grade class, has a lot of overlap with the Pre-Algebra content, so Pre-Algebra students should find the work is very similar.

Welcome back! We are starting a new unit of study called cytology (the study of cells). The focus of this unit includes:
all organisms are made cells and these cells complete all of life's functions (photosynthesis and cellular respiration)
cells are made of organelles (cells parts) that allow the cell to function
Here is the LINK to the daily agenda. Ever wonder the types of questions students have? Here is a LINK that shares the list of questions students developed that I use to plan out the lessons in the unit.
Reminder: students should come to class with their science binder, science journal, writing utensil, planner, Chromebook (in its case), and homework when applicable.
Dissection Opportunity: On January 12, 2025 from 3:00-4:30 pm, I will be offering an activity for students to dissect a sheep eyeball and a perch.

Herzlich Willkommen in Deutsch 7!
Welcome to German 7. Students are just beginning to learn the sounds and spelling of German words. Students have finished up their unit on descriptions of themselves and where they are from. When we return from break we will be starting a unit on school. What's in your backpack? What's in the classroom? Which supplies do you need for which classes?
Practicing vocabulary continues to be essential to leveling up their language skills. Students have new Quizlet sets on Google Classroom and they should be studying 10-15 minutes of old and new vocabulary per day!

¡Hola a todos! El Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico on November 1 and 2, so in October and November, Spanish 7 students are comparing holiday traditions: Halloween in the U.S. and The Day of the Dead in Mexico. Deceased family members are thought to return home during this time of year, so Mexicans set up altars adorned with photos, foods, and flowers. Students learned about the Aztec/Christian history of the Day of the Dead. Students used tissue paper to make cempasúchil flowers and papel picado, two typical decorations. They also watched an Emmy-nominated Spanish-language documentary on the cempasúchil flower.
We viewed the Disney-Pixar film Coco, and talked about the many references to Mexican culture that exist in the film (from the wrestler El Santo to the artist Frida Kahlo to the hairless dog breed el xolo). Coco's director spent 6 years doing research in Mexico to ensure that the film accurately represents Mexican culture. Students are learning how to describe people and things in Spanish (Es = "He/she is..." / Tiene = "He/she has..." / Le gusta = "He/she likes...").
