Hello everybody.

As the leaves change bright colors and there is more of a chill in the air, we have moved away from the first quarter and marched into the second quarter.

For Geography, we have finished up the chapter on Canada. Now the focus is on Mexico. For Mexico, we will study about Mexico’s physical Geography, history post-Mexican Revolution, culture, and regionalism.

In Literature, the students have began the first phases of Letters of Literature. The students have brainstormed ideas about why a certain book has been an influence to them. I would like the students to use details from the story to help them support their main ideas. Also, the 7th Graders are beginning a novel called “The Giver” by Lois Lowry. The students will extensively take notes on character traits, summarization, and predictions, and other important literary elements throughout the unit.

I am excited for the start of the 2018-19 school year this Thursday.  I hope your family had a wonderful summer and your children are ready for school to start!
