Mr. Lewer: Science
Chapter 3 and all section wrap up questions by
Friday
Mr. Podratz: English
All work is done in class. They are starting to
read the book Rascal this week.
September 2008
We will be doing a unit dealing with memoir. The
reading and writing will be done during class time. By September 14 they should
have selected a memoir of their choice or one of mine for class reading. They
will be required to write or speak about the memoir later in the quarter.
Mr. Howard: Social Studies
Weekly Update
Hello!
Well...it's only taken me two weeks to get my web
page up and running. Thanks for your
patience as I get settled into my new job here at Capitol Hill.
Mygoal is that this site will become a place for
parents to quickly learn what?s happening in 7th grade Social Studies (a.k.a.
?U.S. History?), check how well their student is succeeding, and offer
resources for enhancing the learning experience.
Please check back often for weekly classroom
updates.
______________________________________________________
Week 2
(9/10 to 9/14)
This week we focused on early Native American
people groups present in North America prior to European contact. We discussed:
·
Theories about pre-historic migration to North America from Asia.
·
The ?five features of civilization? offered by our textbook. (Ask them
to describe and explain them to you.)
·
Native American societies found in North America during European
exploration.
On Tuesday, September 11th, (the 6th anniversary
of the terrorist attacks) we watched a video about ?heroes? and the sacrifices
they made to save others on that terrible day.
After the video, students shared stories about their own ?acts of
bravery.?
NEXT WEEK
We will be learning about:
·
The discovery and colonization of North America by European explorers.
·
The Atlantic trade-triangle that grew after the discovery of North
America.
·
The ?Middle Passage? experience endured by Africans forced into slavery.

Week 1
(9/4 to 9/7)
Having 160+ students (my highest number ever)
makes it necessary for me to get to know them and establish ground rules for
having a safe and productive classroom.
Creating a ?safe? classroom means more than guarding physical safety; it
means creating respectful environment where students can feel free to inquire
and express ideas without fear. Ask
your student to explain what this means.
It?s also important for 7th graders to learn
about themselves. Last week, they
discovered if they were visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. It shouldn?t surprise anyone that 90% of our
students are strong kinesthetic
learners (they can?t sit still); this will likely change as they mature. It may
be that their secondary learning-style preference will strengthen as they grow.
Be sure to ask them about the information they
were to bring home. It contained the following:
· A
brief article about learning styles in young learners.
·
The test showing their results.
·
?Study Tips? for their particular learning style. (Have them place this
on the refrigerator door to remind them of ways to ?study best? in their
style.)French
