7th Grade Update: Week 4.5

Dear Seventh Grade Parents,

Each day is filled with surprises.  In math we had a couple of pop quizzes. We just finished learning about algebraic equations, and had a test on it. We had problems like these:

Q. T*T*T*T*Y=
A. T4 *Y
  Or
Q. T3*X2*Y2=
A. T*T*T*X*X*Y*Y
Some of it was a little confusing but we got through it together. Now, we are studying geometry in three dimensions. We have to imagine what the top, front, bottom, right, and left views look like.

In science we are studying about genes. In class we got to make paper pets and decide what types of traits that they had. Everybody (hopefully) is starting to work on their science projects due in October.

In gym we had the.. pacer. The pacer is when you have you run across the gym slowly at first then; you have to run faster and faster. Everybody did a great job!

Canaan, Israelites, Mt. Sinan, and Joseph. Do these terms sound familiar? We are talking about the Israelites in social studies and how God told Moses to "Let my people go!"
In Bible class,  we are studying the book of Acts. We have read many amazing and exciting stories about Jesus' followers. We had a test on September 21.

We had some other events happening too. The girls went to the Blessed Sacrament soup kitchen in Harrisonburg last week. We had a blast! We did jobs such as chopping vegetables (YUM!!!), wrapping muffins, and tearing up pieces of chicken. We chopped very strong onions which made people cry across the room!

In chapel we are talking about peace around the world which relates to our theme," Building Bridges."

In language arts we made peace pinwheels. We put them up right across the Rite Aid store in the shape of a peace sign this past Friday. Everybody's pinwheels look good! It's been a great school year so far!
