Grade 7
Dear parents,
We had another successful week at school with a surprise snow day! Students continue to do a great job of following our school safety rules and procedures. In advisory, we have been talking about gratitude and thinking of what we are grateful for.
SCIENCE: Students took a summative performance assessment this week called Your Genes Lab. I introduced an exciting enrichment opportunity that will start in March. Students can apply to work with a mentor working in the Biomade industry to develop a project. We will start learning about human growth and development and reproduction before February vacation.
MATH: We are wrapping up our unit on proportionality. At the end of next week the students will be taking an end of the unit summative. Each student will be able to choose between 2 assessments. One is a short performance assessment (Discovering the Rainforest) and the second is a more traditional assessment (Unit 1-End of the Unit Assessment). They should determine which assessment best fits their style of demonstrating their understanding. In the meantime, we will begin our next unit on rational numbers (positive and negative numbers).
Social Studies: We completed our post World War 2 unit. On Friday, two classes worked on a summative reflecting on their assignments from the unit. The other two social studies classes will have their summative on Monday. We are moving on to economics and world trade for our next unit. This coming week students will be mapping where their shirts and shoes were made.
ELA: This week, students worked on writing argumentative flash drafts. Students chose a position, made a claim, and researched reasons to support their claim. Some topics they have taken sides on are: 1) Real pets, robot pets, or cloned pets? and 2) Is space exploration worth it? We will continue with argumentative writing next week.
Grade 8
February is off to a strong start for Grade 8! Students are hard at work across their core classes.
In Literacy, students are gathering text evidence for a Literary Analysis Essay from their independent reading books.
In the coming week, students will write claim statements and begin drafting their analysis essays.
In Science, we began our units on atoms and we have been working on unpacking the Periodic Table of Elements.
In Math this week, the students did a great job making connections between the equations of lines and their graphs. They are using different activities on student.desmos.com to practice what they have learned.
It is exciting to see the student discovering the formulas on their own and being able to apply them to different style problems.
In Social Studies students have begun their study of Ancient Greece. During this unit, students will be learning about the history of Ancient Greece and how this civilization influenced the governmental structures of the United States.
Counselor's Corner:
Next week I will be visiting 7th grade advisories to talk to students about college and career preparation. I will be using curriculum from the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF), which is a wonderful (and FREE!) resource in the state of New Hampshire for higher education, college planning, and career research. For more information please visit www.nhheaf.org.

SRMS Student Attendance Expectations 2020-2021
This year at SRMS we will be tracking attendance a little differently than we historically have. This is to ensure your child’s safety in our building and to be consistent across the middle and high schools. If your child will be absent, late, dismissed early, or will miss a class period please use Pickup Patrol to report this absence as an excused absence. Any absences that have not been reported through Pickup Patrol will be marked as unexcused. Teachers will be taking attendance at the beginning of each period. If your child misses one or more classes during the day and it has not been documented through Pickup Patrol, the absence will be marked as unexcused and an automated email will be sent home from Renee LeBlanc. If you get a message and have information or documentation as to why your child’s absence should be excused, please contact Renee LeBlanc at rleblanc@sau17.net.
Free Meals for all student in school & remote for the remainder of the 20/21 school year.
Remote meals are available for pick-up
