7th-8th Grade

What are we up to?
 

March 12, 2010

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,

Stephanie Rogers J

Miss Rogers and her brothers

All about Miss Rogers...

Miss Rogers grew up in Batavia, IL where she went to Batavia Public Schools.  She played soccer, marched in marching band, and was a member of Future Educators of America during her time in Batavia.  She currently lives in Geneva.

In her free time, Miss Rogers loves to go for walks, drink coffee, watch movies, go to sporting events (Go Bears!) and of course, laugh!

This will be her first year here at Immanuel and she is very excited.  She graduated from Concordia University-Chicago this past May with her degree in Lutheran Elementary Education and a Middle School Endorsement in Spanish.  She is looking forward to a great year!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail her at miss.rogers86@yahoo.com

Memory for the week of March 15th:

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.  Jude 20-21.

Spelling for the week of March 15th will be a review.  There will be no pretest on Monday.  The final test will be on Thursday because Friday is a half day.  The word lists for this week can be found on pages 150-153 in the spelling book.
