September 28: Getting into the School Groove!
Math
The 7th Grade has been working hard learning different techniques for finding the greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM) for groups of numbers. They also learned about what makes a number a perfect square or perfect cube and how to find square roots and cube roots of numbers by utilizing factorization. They will be studying hard and spending class time reviewing for their upcoming test on Friday, October 5th. Good luck, 7th grade!
Humanities
In English/Language Arts, students are onto week 3 of the vocabulary journey! Please continue to look for Greek and Latin roots in your daily literary experiences: Pan (all), Omnis (all), Holos (whole), Totus (whole), Claudere (to close). The ancient phrase for this week is: Omne corpus mutabile est. Every object is subject to change. – Cicero. Upon our return next week, we’ll be reviewing the structure for a literary analysis essay and diving in the wonderful world of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
In History, we are examining the reasons for the rise of the Roman Republic. WHY did the later republic see the growth of territory and the proliferation of trade? What are the events that characterized the end of the Roman Republic? Though we are using the word “republic,” is there a more accurate word to describe the structure of the government?
Hebrew
The seventh grade continued our unit on the “five senses”.
These past couple of weeks we read a folk tale story and students came up with a large list of words for a word bank connect to the senses.
The words were translated broken down to nouns\ adjectives and will be used for the next assignments. A quizlet set has been created for students to review the list of words on line, they can find a link to quizlet in their google classroom or search on quizlet for 7K חושים or 7J חושים.
Wishing you all a חג שמח!
