Week of April 11-15th

In Period 2 Reading this week, we will continue to focus on sequencing and complete several activities, including creating sequencing storyboards and comprehension worksheets, to practice this skill. In Period 3 Reading, we are continuing to read Taking Sides and will have our first quiz on Chapter 1-8 on Friday. We will review Wednesday and Thursday. In 7th Grade Language Arts, we will continue to be in the IMC researching our careers. Daily checks will be done to monitor each student's progress with research and notecards. In Reading, we will read Chapters 8-10 in Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie and have a book report work day on Friday. Just a reminder that all book reports are due on April 21st! In 8th grade math, students will have the beginning of the week to finish working on their House Design project. An extra credit opportunity will be given on Monday for this, as well. The remainder of the week, we will continue to work on chapter 10 with area of circles, three dimensional figures, and cylinders. Finally, in 7th period RtI, we will be reading the story, Come Home Louisa, which focuses on a young girl who runs away from home and her journey back. Our focus skill is pulling out the elements of the story. For additional information about 7th grade LA/Reading, please see Mrs. Mastny's blog! Have a wonderful weekend!
