Seventh graders have been getting adjusted to their new teachers and subjects this marking period. They are reading a variety of genres of literature, learning about American History from the time of the early Native Americans and early explorers. Soon they will be learning about Colonial America and the Revolutionary War. In Religion they are learning about Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life and are exploring the uniqueness of God, creation and Human Dignity.
In Language Arts, they are reviewing the parts of speech, writing songs, essays in various subjects and will soon delve into poetry. Recently they experienced a cross curricular assignment that included reading a biography or autobiography on an inventor/scientist for their science class. Then they extracted information from the book and prepared a visual presentation and became experts on their scientist/inventor. Each student presented their report in a small book chat format. Every student presented their book chats twice and viewed at least six other presentations. The students loved it and learned so much. They are anxious to apply their presentation skills for future projects.
