Team Updates
Exemplary Badger: Congratulations to Claire D. for being selected as our Exemplary Badger for next week! To be selected as the Exemplary Badger means that the recognized student is upholding all of the high standards to which the Badger students agreed at the beginning of the year! It means that their behavior is respectful; that they are responsible for their work and their grades; that they are kind!
Congratulations to the Badger students who were involved in crafting this beautiful sign for our school! Ava C., Brian C., Matt C., Kira H., and Grace M. They collaborated with our Art teachers as well as other seventh graders from the Grizzly Team. Fine work, ladies and gentlemen!
More good news! Congratulations to our two super spellers in the annual PMS Spelling Bee: Maddie M. and Julie S.
Class Updates
Social Studies: It was a busy week in Social Studies as the students learned what everyday life was like for the ancient Romans. On Friday the students started their in-class research project and will continue working on it this upcoming week. Keep up the good work!
Science: We finished our Homeostasis Unit with a test today. Very few students completed the study guide for bonus points on the test. Students have handouts from Lights for Learning to share with their families this weekend. A presenter from Lights for Learning spoke to all 7th grade science classes on Monday about energy conservation. Next week we will start a new unit on how organisms grow, develop and reproduce.

Literacy: Successful Peaceful Protests in history were the topic of discussion and writing this week in Literacy. Kids were astounded with the power that kids wielded in the 1960's! The Atlas Obscura project is due on Monday at the close of class which will take place in the library, allowing kids who lack technology at home to record their narrations, and submit to the assignment in their Google Class. Back to Latin roots next week - Unit 8 here we come!
English: We wrapped up another exciting grammar unit this week in English, focusing on run-on sentences and differentiating types of sentences! Next week students will have the opportunity to complete their performance tasks they began earlier this month. We will have access to the Chromebooks here in school, but students can also access them from home using Google Drive if they choose to. Students, make sure you review the rubric before submitting them! The final performance task will be due Friday, February 3rd.
