As school begins to quickly wind down for the year, we will finish the year learning about the Maori culture in the South Pacific. After watching video clips of the Maori and their traditions and way of life, students will have a choice of creating their own Maori mythological story, writing a poem or song, or performing a Maorian dance.
As we are now just 10 days from the end of the school year, please look over your child's grades to ensure there are no missing assignments. Our deadline for posting final report card grades is next week. Please help us to ensure your child ends the 4th 9 weeks with the strongest class grade possible! Now is a great time to talk with your child about the importance of completing all work and turning it in. After Progress Reports, we only have a mere 4 1/2 weeks left in the final quarter of this school year...let's work together to help our students finish the 7th grade year STRONG and SUCCESSFUL!

Math News
We're almost done! Wow, it has been quite the year. As we approach the end of the school year and get ready to jump into summer break, there are a few things left to do in math. While our overall content standards have been completely covered at this point, learning will not stop. Students will be engaging in numerous activities during the last two weeks of school. Our main focus in math this week we be completing a project. This project will count as students' final test grade. Students will conduct research on Monday, create a Google Slides presentation on Tuesday and finally present their project on Thursday and Friday! The overall requirements for this project are very basic. I have asked students to pick a topic that interests them (i.e. basketball, cooking, music, video games, etc) and research how math is involved in their respective topic. Historically, this is an assignment that students are very excited to complete as it revolves around something that interests them. I would ask that you help your child by inquiring about their presentation and potentially even have them practice presenting to you. Thank you for your continued support. We can do it...let's finish the school year strong!!!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Go Panthers!

This week we will be continuing with Unit 7 Africa Geography. Our main focus this week will be education, famine, and disease through out Africa. We are now in the last 9 weeks of the school year and it is important for students to remain focused and continue to turn in all assignments. Some grades were adversely affected during the 3rd 9 weeks due to incomplete assignments. The Africa physical map and biomes map quiz will be given next Monday. The Asia coach book in the ABOUT section of google classroom can be a helpful study resource. Thank you for your support!
