Welcome to Seventh Grade! |
| Through
greater responsibility for themselves and their school work, and more
rigor in the academic disciplines, seventh grade students start to
prepare for high school. In language arts, students focus on literature
and composition. Higher-order thought processes are now required to
analyze literature, including the ability to extract themes, and to
critique text structure. The literary selections connect with the
writing exercises to afford the students the opportunity to examine
literature in a more personal way. The seventh graders study pre-algebra
in accelerated and regular math classes, building on previously learned
concepts and exploring new ones. In life sciences, students develop
inquiring minds about the natural world around us. Students are
encouraged to ask why and search for answers about plant and animal
life. our seventh grade social studies curriculum focuses on U.S.
History, beginning with a look at the first Americans, progressing to
the U.S. constitution, and culminating with the Civil War. Along with
the study of our country's rich history, we continue to build on our
understanding of geography and current events. The theme for religion in
seventh grade is the life of Jesus. Students study His life, values and
teachings in preparation for Confirmation in eighth grade.
