Thank you for sending your child to BT. We love our students and have a lot to be proud of. We know the sacrifice it takes to send your child to a Catholic School and do our best to give them a high quality education. Don't forget that registration for next year is right around the corner.

Literature: * We have just completed the Literature portion of our Children's Literature Unit and are moving on to the English portion--writing and illustrating our own children's books!

* We will be starting our Holocaust/WWII Unit next week. We read the Diary of Anne Frank as well as learning background information about the events of WWII. I have studied the Holocaust extensively and I find it very interesting, but many of the kids seem to find it a little dry. It is a good, challenging book and important for them to learn about, so they just have to hang in there!

Independent Reading: The goal is to read 5 books outside of class each trimester. The students have a "bingo" board from which they should choose an activity to go along with each book. They may/should turn these in at any time throughout the trimester.

Language: * 

Spelling: The students will recieve a spelling worksheet every Monday. This worksheet should be completed by Friday (or the last day of the week) and turned in before the test. Students should be studying every night!! The spelling words are challenging for most students in 7th grade.

* The words are getting more and more challenging. Please help remind your students to study their words EVERY night. It only takes 5-10 minutes a day!

Religion (7s): *I now have 7S for religion. We will be covering family life as well as doing a World Religions project and a Charity project. Ch 1 is about Families.
