Give Thanks! Your students have made it to November!
Hello Everyone,
Here's your update for November 2015. In Language Arts, we will be starting a new unit on November 30th that students are going to be working on into February. This unit will cover courage, Anne Frank, WWII, and the Holocaust. In my opinion, this is the best unit in the 7th Grade Language Arts curriculum.
As always, Please let me know if you have any questions! I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, and a wonderful start to the the holiday and wintery season.
Sincerely,
Michelle Wolfrum
7th Grade Language Arts
Team 7-1
P.S. I am sure you heard about our very eventful bus trip to MoMath in New York City. Check out the pictures throughout the page to see how our students explored the museum and still kept a smile on their faces despite the hardships! :)

What's Coming Next?
We will be starting Unit 2 as soon as students return from Thanksgiving. Students will be starting to discuss higher level topics by exploring and learning about the Holocaust and Courage through literature and nonfiction. We will focus on Anne Frank, her family's story, and the positive outlook Anne kept while hiding from the Nazis. We will also focus on what it means to be an upstander, someone that stands up in times of need, and a bystander. Students will be reading fictional stories of courage as well as nonfiction and current events that all discuss courageous acts.
Please review the ELA Notification Letter about Unit 2 below, and e-mail me with any questions.
For personal research, click here for the United States Holocaust Museum, which is a fantastic resource I use throughout the unit. Also, for more information on Anne Frank, click here to tour the Secret Annex and learn about her family and life. Students will be doing this in class, too, so feel free to explore away!
Look at us being so Happy!
