Hello!
It’s
almost Spring
Break! In math, both classes wrapped up chapter eight and took tests on
Tuesday. They also began working
on chapter nine. For the seventh graders, chapter nine talks about surface
area. The eighth graders will be studying the Pythagorean theorem. Both classes can expect a test after
spring break.
In
science, we
began talking about our next chapter, which deals with the theories of
evolution and natural selection.
We will wrap up this chapter before spring break.
In literature with
Miss Holcomb, some of the seventh and eighth graders are continuing the novel
titled The Borrowers, by
Mary Norton. The other students are continuing Johnny Tremain. For social studies,
the seventh and eighth
graders are studying the land and people of Bolivia. They will have a test on
the Andean countries of South American on Monday (3/15). In English, the students are continuing
a unit about different pronouns and how to use them correctly.
In
art, the seventh
and eighth graders are continuing work on drawing their dreams with
pastels. When they are finished,
they will be writing a short paragraph about what is happening in their dream.
This week in PE the students continued roller skating. Next week will be the
last week for roller skating. For
Spanish, the seventh and eighth graders are reviewing some of the topics we
have covered more recently.
A
few reminders:
-The
7th
and 8th graders are ringing chimes at the 7pm Lenten service on
Wednesday, March 17th.
-Friday
is a
half-day.
-Spelling
next week
is a review week. There will be no pre-test and no spelling list sent home.
Words can be found on pages 150-153 of the spelling book. The final test will
be on Thursday due to the half-day on Friday.
-The
students have
filled up the pom-pom bucket in the office due to their great behavior! We will
be having a pizza party to celebrate on April 9th. Please do not order hot lunch for your
child on that day.
-Some
of the
students are running low on school supplies like paper, spirals, pencils and
pens. Please ask your child if they are in need of anything in particular.
Have
a wonderful
weekend!
In
Christ,
