     In our Reading/LA block, we have begun writing our science research paper.  So far, this had entailed taking our 35 notecards and separating them into topics, developing an outline, and beginning to write, using our first main topic.  We will continue writing, using the COWS (Computers On Wheels) until December 19, when the paper is due.

     Grammar this week will focus on a review of nouns.  Our test will be this Friday.

      We are reading a multicultural novel for independent reading.  We will give an oral, "brown bag" report on this story beginning Tuesday, December 18.  Ask your seventh grader what this project entails!

      We will tackle one more vocabulary unit before winter break.  Watch for your child's vocabulary cards, and test them on the definitions!
