ELA –
We've started a new unit--informational writing! In this unit, students will be writing to explain their thinking, theories and wonderings about a favorite book. Students will be rereading their chosen book over the next three weeks. They should be finished rereading the book by Friday, February 2nd.
This week, we spent some time refreshing our memories on what it means to write about their reading as a seventh grader. We're going beyond summarizing and trying to dig deep with our thinking by exploring characters, themes, symbolism and more.

Science
This week in science we reviewed goal 1 and 2 in our structure and function of cells unit. We covered much of this information on cell theory, cell hierarchy, and organelle prior to winter break. We used this week as review due to absences and the long layoff over the holiday period. Friday students took a formative assessment over these topics
Next week students will be furthering their exploration of cells using microscopes to observe the differences in plant and animal cells.
