7G students were rewarded for having 0 missing assignments in a 12 Days of Christmas Give Away raffle ticket drawing full of fun prizes! The 7th grade team would like to thank Studebaker Freedom Buick GMC for gifting us with TWO pairs of Beats Solo3 wireless headphones!
After finishing our first novel of the year, The Outsiders, 7G students used their literary analysis and critical thinking skills to answer our year long essential question. #familyofknights#criticalthiking#litanalysis
We had the BEST time in SRT today. Students were challenged to put together a puzzle, BUT only 1 teammate could touch the pieces & that teammate was BLINDFOLDED! Our key takeaways revolved around patience and communication. #familyofKnights
We paused reading our last novel of the year, Restart, for iReady testing. After 3 days, we needed a quick review of the what we've read so far before jumping back in. Students refreshed their memories with a Color by Character to review the story's plot. π
Students practiced their argumentative writing skills by grading reason paragraphs written by some of their teachers. After evaluating the organization and evidence, students declared @Wetzel125 the winner of best paragraph. They will use her paragraph to finish the essay. π
A gallery walk helped us classify theme statements. After sorting statements from around the room, students distinguished the difference between a strong and weak theme statement. Students applied their learning by developing a theme of their own after reading Ch.10-12 in ALWW.
Time is running out! Today is the LAST DAY to enter your school to win one of 11 awesome prizesβincluding a visit from Salva Dut!

A chalk talk while reading chapters 7-9 of ALWW had us making inferences on what we think a water crisis is. Students began a research task on the topic shortly after to prep for an informative essay. Ask a 7G student about the consequences of not having access to clean water. π§
Miss Emrick created some Ellis Island and the Triangle Factory simulation yesterday in class. It was amazing to see her in action. What a great way to introduce their next novel, Ashes of Roses. #nmsknights#nmspride

Students experienced a scene from The Outsiders come to life to practice using sensory details in their writing. They applied what they learned by rewriting a scene in our most recent chapter from a different character's point of view. π¬ #DescriptiveWriting#RoomTransformation
