  Announcements Dear Parents, This is to make parents aware that scholars can receive a recess detentions as a consequence for continual actions that distract from the learning environment during school. This is an opportunity for scholars to spend time reflecting on how to make good choices that will help them be successful here at Great Hearts Parents will be notified before the detention is served.  Do not forget to accept the invitation to join the new Google Class for Quarter 2! What's Happening next week? In Mathematics, students will learns to use transformation to solve equations. Students will be translating word problems into equations and vice versa. We'll continue learning and memorizing multiples, squares and cubes of numbers from 1 to 15! For writing, students will compose a research paper on a natural biome using the skills they have learned for note-taking , writing citations, and creating outlines. And i n Grammar class, students will learn how to analyze and d

Dear parents and families,  We made it through Quarter 1! Updates to distance learning will be sent out in an email in the next few days. Scholars returning to campus will need to bring all of their school materials with them. 7A Scholar of the Month:  Madison Mendez!  7B Scholar of the Month:  Eric Cantu!  Madison always shows up on time to zoom ready to participate. She is responsibly about turning in assignments on time and contributes to class discussions.  What's Happening Next Week? For Mathematics, scholars will start the Unit on Equations and Inequalities. We'll be going through ways of finding equivalent equations and solving problems from the textbook.  In Science, scholars will be learning more about our next and final plant group, angiosperms. Scholars will learn about the parts of a flower, the diversity of angiosperms, as well as why angiosperms are so important to our environment . In Literature and Composition, we will be finishing our unit on Edgar Allen Poe sh

Also, we'll be  finding equivalent equation and learning the meaning of their equivalence.  In Science this week, scholars will complete a tree "cookie" lab where they will examine and observe a cross section of a tree. We will also look at our fourth and final plant group, angiosperms. Scholars will learn about what makes flowering plants so unique and diverse.  For literature and composition class, scholars will continue to read the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

We are deeply grateful and thankful to you for your trust and encouragement every week.  - 7th grade teachers Announcements No School Monday! Lit./comp. and Math zooms for distance learners will occur every school day next week except Friday. Some Highlight of the Week On Friday, the science class went outside in nature for a Nature Walk! Students made entries on their Nature Journal about the structures and types of leaves that they could observe. Students observed the blades, types of edges, patterns of vascular structures and learn to differentiate  simple and compound leaves. Our distance-learners will be making similar observations on their own and entering them in the Nature Journal.  What's Happening
