English –
We read a short story called "Priscilla and the Wimps" this week in ELA and used it to practice our summarizing skill. Ask your student about the ending--it's a good one! Students constructed their first 'on their own' summary this week over "Priscilla" and practiced giving feedback to a peer during workshop time. They also wrote me a letter reflecting on their reading so far this year, and I am happy to report that we have some readers in our group!
Next week, students will have a summative performance event on summarizing on Tuesday. We'll visit the library on Wednesday and begin learning new ways to respond to our reading on Thursday and Friday.
Please check SIS to see how your student is rating him/herself on participation during workshop time. The score is what students gave themselves, so this is a great talking point! I will be giving a final workshop participation grade for first term next week and will be taking their own perspective on their performance into consideration.
Please email me with any questions or comments!

Math-
7th grade math had a quiz this week over operations with rational numbers. They worked cooperatively in groups with me and even enjoyed a nice game of jeopardy. Today we work to reintroduce turning fractions to decimals and understanding how this works within cab fares. We will be working on converting between fractions, percents and decimals next week.

- The students spent the whole week becoming better at graphing data. You can ask them to show you the presentation on Google Classroom B Announcement Graphing Presentation which allowed them individually paced learning the concepts and requirements for making graphs.
- Tuesday in Science Ms Peterson had an active lesson on building a community!
- The focus was NOT TO tolerate or make it ok to say anything that is a “put down.”
- “SPEAK WITH KINDNESS”
- Good topic for you to discuss with your 7th grader!
- They finished the week by making corrections to their Aerodynamic Engineering Lab graphs.
If you wish to receive the same text message reminders or email reminders your student will be occasionally receiving, please sign up by: 1) sending a text message to 81010 and put in the message as “@c30be”, and/or go to https://www.remind.com/ and enter the classcode: @c30be.
Next week the students will finish the graphing and work on writing a conclusion, plus we will do a fun experiment! Blowing dish washing soap bubbles to measure the best dish soap!Then we will begin studying universe objects.
If you have any questions or concerns please email me!

Social Studies –
Our focus this week has
been on The Law Code of Hammurabi.
Students explored the Law Code through a variety of written and
multi-media sources. On Thursday, we
honored Constitution Day by looking at the similarities and differences between
Hammurabi’s Code and the U.S. Constitution.
Finally, students spent some time imagining that Hammurabi is their
principal.
The vocabulary test will
be next Wednesday.
