Seventh Grade

Seventh graders at St. Rose of Lima are going to enjoy learning this year!  They will read exciting books, and their vocabulary is going to increase.  Plus - they are going to become amazing writers... 

Seventh grade will also participate in a Charlotte's Web Fair!  Students will be compete individually and in teams to score points through artistic and educational competitions. 

We will also be talking a lot about what is going on in the world.  Your child will be able to talk about current events with you at the dinner table.  We will read about the news and write about the news.  There is always something to talk and write about!
