Welcome to 7th Grade

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

    UPPER HALL DANCE

    This week the upper hall had their glow party dance. They danced all night and enjoyed a competitive game of limbo. This was the perfect way to end the third quarter.

      This week the 7th grade met with their kindergarten buddies to have a game day. These kids had a blast meeting with their buddies.

        Service Project

        This week the 7th graders were able to sit in on a meeting with the founder of Amherst Kids Closet to learn more about the program and ask questions about how they can help. These students had great ideas and we hope to see them in effect soon.

        THE OUTSIDERS PLAY PREP

        This past month seventh grade has been working to put on their own play production of the outsiders. They were expected to edit the chapters to create their own scenes in a different point of view, write the script, create set pieces(which are pictured below), and put on the show for the upper hall. 

          The Outsiders. This week the students focused on character analysis.

          This week the students focused on character analysis. The students worked to find details in the text about these characters in groups and then created these posters as a result.

            MARS here we come

            “After writing our papers about the benefits of going to Mars our students were tasked with building a rocket model out of LEGOs. This model must inclue the necessary supplies and shape they believe will get to Mars. The students successfully collaborated with their peers and were able to explore innovative ways to build their rockets.”

              The Outsiders

              This past month our students in 7th grade have been reading the outsiders and completing assignments that relate to the novel. We have been exploring biases, character development, theme, point of view and so much more. The students have absolutely loved this novel and we have many more exciting projects to complete relating to this book. 

              Reading Christmas books with our Buddies

                This week we had many fun activities going on.

                "This week we had many fun activities going on. 7th and 8th went on a field trip to Sliman's car dealership. On this trip our students learned about all of the different departments at Sliman's. The students were able to sit in some of the cars they had on the lot. This week we also did a shape hunt with our kindergarten buddies. They spent time going through classrooms and hallways looking for six different shapes of their choosing."

                  Making Posters for a Cause

                  This week all 7th graders worked on creating posters to advertise the Halloween caramel apple sale fundraiser for our upcoming Washington DC trip. Some students really followed a caramel apple theme and others went with a Halloween theme all turned out great.

                    Working with ur 2nd grade Buddies

                    "This week our 7th graders thought about our 7 habits of mind our school focuses on: to be inquisitive, collaborative, open-minded, resilient, resourceful, reflective, and innovative. I asked each student to research what that word meant, and then come up with words, ideas, or pictures that help support that word."

                    APL VISIT

                    "The past two weeks 6th and 7th grade have been working on writing grammatically correct bios for dogs in the shelter to help them get adopted. This is about a three week long PBL Assignment where the students are being reflective everyday. The students are working on punctuation, capitalization, editing, and following grammar rules. On 10/08, Greg from the APL came to talk to our students about the adoption process as well as how the staff at the APL draft their dogs' bios. Our students not only worked on their writing skills but also got to meet Nosey Parker, the cutest puppy this side of the Alleghenies." 

                      Olympians and teh Olympic Games

                      "This week 7th graders read informational texts on Olympians and the Olympic games. The student also researched how fast the US Olympic runners could run the 100m race. We then timed ourselves to see how fast we could run 20m, 50m, and 100m. This was done on a volunteer basis. We then calculated the data and compared how fast we can run compared to Olympians. While some students were not surprised how far away they were from Jesse Owens time, some were surprised at how much of a difference it was"
