Grade7

 The students will have his/her project and chapter booklet returned to them this week from Chapter 5.  Students began chapter 6 by decoding words and expressions as part of new vocabulary for the chapter.  Students responded to questions in order to get certain pieces to a puzzle. Once the puzzle was completed we discovered the long-term and immediate causes of the war of 1812.  This week we will look at some important people of the war of 1812; as well as, some very important battles that took place right here in our city.  We will be having a test on chapter 6 vocabulary at the end of the week.
