7th Grade Weekly Newsletter

All students are finishing up NWEA testing this week with the goal of making great gains this year! MATH - Monday students will review Fraction/Decimal/Percent conversions and then we'll start working out of the textbook. Pre-Algebra - Students will start reviewing Probability in Chapter 1. BOTH CLASSES - As the marking period progresses, if you see a grade that doesn't represent your student and you don't see practice at home, that is most likely the cause. Both classes get a bit of homework 3-4 times a week.

We will be finishing up our module on thinking like historians in our first unit on social Science Thinking. We will be working on the historical piece of our ongoing project to create an international tour itinerary.

In Science we are learning about the Periodic Table of Elements and some of the most fundamental elements we have on Earth.

Next week, we will continue our second lesson of Facing Adversity unit. Students will be reading Historical Nonfiction and analyzing text.
