The 7^th grade has been very busy since Christmas vacation!  Take a look at what’s going on:

Math:           We’ve been learning about working with positive and negative numbers.  Next we’ll be working on probability and statistics.  This will also include various types of graphing.

Science:       As we continue our exploration of Life Science, we’ve learned all about living organisms and what makes things grow.  We even grew bread mold.  It was truly disgusting, but we found that mold grows in many different colors.  We’re now moving on to viruses/bacteria and protists/fungi.

Language Arts:       Mrs. Hunthausen has been keeping us busy with lots of reading and writing.  We’ve been learning about the 6+1 Traits of writing and are reading “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Social Studies:       Again, Mrs. Hunthausen keeps us busy with American History.  She’s been having us think about the future and had us make models of our own “future cities.”  Many classes judged our work and we’re waiting to find out the results.

Religion:       We are continuing to learn about the teachings of the Catholic Church. We’ve recently covered reasons for the proof of God, the Creation Story from Genesis, and Original Sin.  We’re now beginning to talk about Jesus and his life.  And don’t forget our service hours.  We are all serving at least 10 hours each quarter in our communities.
