Seventh Grade English

 

Language Arts skills are carefully sharpened through novels, essays, literature excerpts, historical diaries, short stories, poetry and more.  Critical thinking skills are crucial at this age and for a successful high school experience. Vocabulary is not taught as a separate subject area.  On the contrary, vocabulary is organic to reading in all disciplines. Writing too, evolves naturally from all academic disciplines.

Science involves critical thinking and observations skills especially in preparation for our 8th grade fascinating dissections.

Math is very sophisticated at this point.  Practicing and reviewing personal math skills is a must for “math fluency” and “flexibility of mathematical reasoning”.   

The social studies program “incorporates geography as well as economic, social, and political trends. The course content is divided into eight Key Ideas, tracing the human experience in the United States from pre-Columbian times until the Civil War”—with some limited focus on people, events, and place in New York State, where relevant.
