New Year, New Semester, New Quarter = Fresh Start!
Second semester/third quarter starts this week!
In CPM math, we're currently studying Systems of Equations...graphing and solving linear equations.
In literature, we're reading Collection 5: A Matter of Style. Studying and analyzing authors' unique writing styles. We'll be beginning Across Five Aprils, a historical fiction novel about the US Civil War, soon.
In language arts in coordination with social studies, students are working on researching and writing a paper about a turning point in history.
The question in 7th grade Spanish lately has been Que hora es? Students know how to ask and answer what time it is in Spanish. It's a great, practical use of applying their knowledge of numbers!
8th grade Spanish begins at semester!
In advisor, reading STARGIRL and completing an author study of Jerry Spinelli, also the author of CRASH. (The play the students saw as 7th graders!)
Upcoming reminders:
January 27th : Milwaukee Field Trip--First Stage Children's Theater STARGIRL
and The Mitchell Park DOMES
February 3rd, 4th and 5th : 8th Grade MAPS Testing (reading and math)
February 9th : Early Dismissal/ Parent-Teacher Conferences See you then!
February 20th : Night Dance (7/8th graders)
