Seventh Grade News

   Thank you, parents, for responding so well to the parent-teacher conferences. It is so beneficial to meet with you at the beginning of the school year to discuss your child's academic and behavioral progress.  Working together helps to insure your child's success!      

During November, our thoughts are turned to thanksgiving. On November 7th,  the 7th grade  students will bring money to buyout of their uniform. The money will help purchase turkeys for our Thanksgiving baskets. Then on the 11th, the students will participate in our Veterans Day Assembly. There will be an all school Mass on the 25th to celebrate the Thanksgiving  holidays.

                                                Projects

Students will be working on their prose and poetry anthology for the Language Arts Fair. The class will be reading the Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles for religion. In math, the class will begin a unit of fractions, which will help them when they begin working with their quilting materials.

                                               Note to  Parents

Thank you for sharing your children with me this year. The emphasis in our classroom this year will be on problem solving through cooperation. In some activities, grades will not be as important as the ability to communicate and work together. I feel like these are skills that extend beyond our academic curriculum.

If you have any questions or concerns please call the office (866-0667) and leave a message. I will return your call as soon as possible.

Thank you for all the ways you support your child and St. Joseph School. When we work together, great things happen!
