Illustration Due Tomorrow Of A Scene From Chapter 1-10

We took our vocabulary test today and also reviewed Chapter 9 then began reading Chapter 10. Could Megan have anything to do with the shooting or could she have sent the mementoes? Make sure your Quarter Notes are complete and neat!

Draw any scene from the book thus far. Put your name on the back and do not discuss your choice with anyone else on the team. We want a variety! Perhaps we could sequence them, also.


Study subjects and predicates and kinds of sentences. You have a study sheet.

Thank You To All The Parents Who Came To Open House

It was so good to see so many parents at Open House last night. Hopefully, you have a clearer picture of what we do on Team 7-2 and in seventh grade. The homework for this evening is to complete a "Problem Pairs" sheet which should help your son or daughter learn how to make the distinction between commonly confused words which sound alike.
In addition, we played vocabulary BINGO today after our Socratic Circle. They should be ready for the test next Monday, September 28th?

STUDY YOUR WORDS OVER THE WEEKEND!!!!!!

Subjects and Predicates Are Easy

Hopefully, you have been trying the grammar games I have included on this blog. If you find them "too easy" then perhaps you could locate a more challenging activity. Let me know!

Quarter notes for Chapter 8 are due tomorrow. We should also get a chance to play vocabulary BINGO as a class. The test for this list of words is scheduled for Monday, September 27th. Make sure you understand the definition, how to use the word and how to spell it, also.

Attribute webs look great! You are all sooooo interesting!!!
