Week of February 25th




This week in Power Hour we worked on school work and also did a class Kahoot. Kahoot is a super fun online website that we have used since 4th grade. It is not only a way to learn, it is also competitive which makes it fun and helps you learn. The Kahoot we did in class was about connotation and denotation, this was also on our Reading Terms Quiz that we had in Language Arts.


In Language Arts we had a Reading Terms Quiz and our weekly Reading Log due. We also started a new book called "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick.  This is personally one of my favorite books, it is about a very tall teenager named Max who is not is not very smart but very tall and  lives with his Grim and Gram. There is also another character named Kevin who has a disability with his legs and can't walk without leg braces and crutches. The story is about their adventures and the way another person can bring out the happiest and best out of you.



In Science this week we started working on Evolution. In these pictures we were working on different documents and web-quest about evolution. We did chapter three of evolution and our normal bell-work. We learned about Natural Selection this week and did a web-quest showing us how peppered moths are a big example of natural selection.  


This week our JV and Varsity dancers had their dance team banquet. In the picture above four of our students have received fun awards for being "Most Confident", "Best Facials", "Amazing Jumper", and "Best Smile" which were voted by their teammates. At the banquet they had a potluck, watched a slideshow, and received awards for their hard work during the season. 


These are our student of the month kids for February. Two of our seventh graders, Solveigh Goldsmith and Eliot Downes got the award from our teachers. This is an award that the teachers give out to two students in each grade every month.

In history we just finished World War 1. We did a simulation that was about WW1. We got to place troops, start battles, etc. It was a fun time between the allies and central powers.  This is the beloved turkey that hit Mr. Boraas Window On Wednesday. The turkey got a lot of attention that day!!  Officer Clemenson was in the Health room talking to us about vaping, drugs and smoking - we all learned how bad these things are!!

Week of May 6-10

In math we finished our tessellations. The picture above is a picture of our hallway that got filled with some new math filled decorations! In health this week we worked on our Ichabod project and got to present. In the Ichabod project we got to pick if we wanted to make a brochure, a cartoon, a video, song, or a poster.  The whole point of the project is for us students to make a project showing one of our fake peers, Ichabod, all of the dangers and bad things that come and can happen with smoking. In language arts we finished up our final creativity assignment. We all wrote our own books and got to class publish them so that our classmates could read them. In the picture we are peer editing to make sure there are no mistakes. Another thing we did in language was study for our reading terms test. In the picture above we are playing a very fun, interactive, learning game called Kahoot. On Wednesday the whole 7th grade class, including our teachers, wa
