Spanish update

We are on track per my previous post. Most students did an amazing job on the menu projects with the sub last week! We are wrapping up the food unit with the Unit test, which is tomorrow.  The students have a purple review sheet to help them prepare. Attached is a calendar with assignment due dates for the remaining of the school year.

A call for help

Mr. Scully is currently in search of a plastic drum that can hold water. If you have a 30 or 55 gallon drum, with a lid, please email him at bscully@starpointcsd.org.

We are trying to grow our hydroponic vegetable garden.  In years past, the 13 gallon sterlite tub goes dry within a few days.  

Thanks in advance for your support.  

Re: Spanish update

Hello!

This week we finished pg.3 of our vocab sheet.  

Next week we will drill the vocab from pg. 4, "er" and "ir" verbs endings and end with a vocab quiz on Friday 5-16-14.

The week of May 19th, I will be on campus, but not in class due to the NYS Course 1 LOTE Speaking exam.  With the sub that week, there will be an in class menu project and writing practice assignments instead of a speaking skit, as previously mentioned.

We will review and wrap up the unit the week of 5-26-14.  The Unit 5 test will be on 5-29-14.

Please check with your son/daughter for upcoming quizzes.  There will be at least one every week.

The 7th grade final exam has been scheduled for 6-17-14 & 6-18-14.  It will take place in class.

The speaking portion of the final exam will take place during the week of 6-9-14. Students will be assigned to take the speaking test during class, lunches, study halls or during office hours.  More details to follow as the date approaches.

Social Studies 7 Update

 I wanted to keep everyone updated on the happenings in Social Studies as May begins.  Mr. Smith our student teacher wrapped up his time here earlier this week.  I was very pleased with his work and how the students responded to him as well.  We are picking up where he left off and have about a month left of new material to cover.  There will be one more assessment before our final exam in June.  Yes, that's right FINAL EXAM!  Hard to believe its creeping up on us already.  More info on that to follow.  Grades in the portal are up-to-date.  Have a good weekend!
