Content news

ELA News

Students have started their Writing Workshop unit, and they are on their way to becoming published authors! Next week, we are working on coming up with our first story idea, creating realistic scenes and characters, and creating a story arc of our first story! Be sure to check out your student's writing journal if they have it to see what story they are creating! 

Math News

This week we will continue our work in Stretching and Shrinking and build on what it means for shapes to be similar. We will begin by identifying similar shapes and identifying scale factors, and using that information to build toward identifying missing side lengths of similar figures. 

Accelerated Math: This week students will develop understanding and skills in working with the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by traversals. A special application of this principle is represented in the fact that opposite angles of any parallelogram are congruent and adjacent angles are supplementary.

Want more information? Here are the lesson plans for 7th grade math.

 Also, on Tuesday students will go over the unit 1 test from last week and learn about the retake process. To retake a test, students will need to complete a retake form (get it from your social studies teacher) and sign up for a retake. Retakes will take place on October 1.

MAP Testing MAP Testing will take place December 3-5.  The testing schedule is linked here:   MAP Testing Schedule Hilsman Health Center is now open! The Hilsman Health Center is now officially open! In order for students to be served, they need to have a parent/guardian fill out a consent form and return it to Nurse Caitlyn. Once the form is returned, we can schedule an appointment. If students have their consent form signed (and on file) and we get verbal permission, our nurses can walk students to the Health Center while they're at school if it's for urgent care (fever, asthma visit, etc.). Otherwise, it operates like a regular doctor's office! They currently do not have a phone number (they're working on it!), but appointments can still be made through the Athens Neighborhood Health Center. They are also taking walk-in visits for the time being!  Have any questions? Send Nurse Caitlyn an email at  kurishc@clarke.k12.ga.us . News from the AVI...
