Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for helping your child get settled back into the school routine. Last week in the seventh grade we spent our time reviewing expectations and procedures, working on pre-assessments, and reconnecting after the summer! The seventh grade was also responsible for the first WISE assembly of the year, in which your children wrote and performed skits on self discipline for the whole school. They did a wonderful job and received numerous compliments from other teachers and students.
This week in religion class we discussed the “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. All students are writing their own “I am” statements about themselves in order to share their strengths with the other members of the class. In math we have begun the first chapter in the textbook, and we are working on reviewing some previously learned skills. All of your children should now have math homework on a daily basis.
In science we are defining what science is and the role that science plays in our everyday lives. Students are learning that Science is always changing because human understanding is expanding. Life Science will be our focus in seventh grade; with new textbooks we are excited about all the possibilities. In Literature we are exploring the narrative elements of The Captain’s Dog, a historical fiction book about a great adventure to the Northwest from a dog’s perspective.
Please remember that picture day is on Thursday, September 23rd. Also Back to School Night is next Wednesday, September 15, at 7 pm. We hope to see you all there.
Have a wonderful weekend. Hopefully we will see you at Sausage Fest!
Mr. Eastes and Ms. Hiefield
