Monthly Snapshot:

During the month of March the 7th grade students will be working on.....

  • Lanuage Arts-Students will spend the last three weeks of March working on an in-depth research paper unit.  We will carefully review each step of the process:  choosing a topic, correct note-taking format, outlining, research skills, and creating a works cited page. Students will also be reviewing oral speaking skills by presenting a speech to coincide with the research paper.   
  • Literature Circles-Students will begin a new cycle for literature circles.  This will be a three-week cycle.  Students will need to finish reading the novels over Easter Break.
