Seventh Grade
The seventh grade year is a lot of fun. We share our stories, focus ourselves on academic quality, build friendships and do it all remembering that we are in the loving presence of the Holy Spirit.
RELIGION
In seventh grade, we learn more about the New Testament. From the stories of Jesus to the memories of the travels of St. Paul, to the images of the early church, we expand our understanding of our place in this wonderful journey.
SCIENCE
Science takes us to a study of our own planet. Our September beginnings examine atoms and the atomic structure of our world. From there we progress to the larger world and the processes that control its behavior, and by June we will look at our universe, from one end to the other.
MATH
The class, as the year before, begins the year with an assessment and is split into two groups. The advanced group, with Mrs. Boyle as their teacher, completes 8th grade math standards in preparation of completing Algebra in 8th grade. The second group works through the regular seventh grade math material studying pre-algebra.
ENGLISH
English is a combination of the study of grammar and its application in writing.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Social studies is an examination of the Eastern Hemisphere. Students study the physical geography, history, and cultures of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
READING
The reading text for seventh grade is The Language of Literature. Units covered include fiction, nonfiction, mythology, and fantasy. Students are expected to complete 125 minutes of independent reading per week. To link with social studies, they read novels set in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
NIGHT OF THE NOTABLES
One of the highlights of seventh grade is the Night of the Notables. Students research a notable person, complete an outline and paper, design a learning center, and deliver a speech as their Notable.
