Our class spent the morning discussion God's promises to Abram in the Old Testament and His promises to us today.  What a comfort God's Word brings to our lives!  The students made a poster with a symbol of a promise they like to remember along with a Bible verse they found to go with it.  They will decorate our room for the next few weeks.

Summer Days in 7th Grade

  This week we had so much fun! From Religion to Literature our days go by so fast. In Religion we have been learning about creation and we all did awesome on our creation quiz. In History we learned about feudalism during the Middle Ages. We are currently working on our feudalism projects where we will present different roles of the social hierarchy. In English Mrs. Beaty makes learning fun and exciting. This week she has taught us the different kinds of nouns.  Spelling is fun too. With Mr. Marlof  and Mrs. Riemenschneider teaching math we have increased our math skills. Science we have been doing labs. They are fun, even if our bread did not grow mold. In Literature we have read many stories all ready.

We are having a lot of fun in 7^th grade!

Birthday Celebration

Thank you to the 7th grade class and our room moms for a FUN SURPRISE party on Friday afternoon.  We relaxed and shared laughs over cupcakes, ice cream, and soda.  The many birthday wishes brought smiles to my face throughout the day :)  THANKS!!!

Week 1: Cross it off the Calendar!

After hearing all the fun summer stories, our class has enjoyed being with friends (and teachers) once again.  They listened to Miss Poppitz, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Beaty, Mrs. Riemenschneider, and Mr. Marolf explain how their classrooms will be run and the great LEARNING opportunities that will take place this year.


As Jr. High students the 7th graders will have many leadership roles to fill.  We will bring the preschool class their lunch everyday, we will clean up the playground after recess, many students play on sports teams and are members of girl/boy scout.  I will continue to encourage my students to become involved in areas where the talents GOD has given them can GROW and shine.


Student Council is another area where students can become involved.  This is a group of 6th-8th grade students who meet with Mrs. Stewart and me (Miss Poppitz) once a week planning school events, service projects, building leadership skills & character, and learning what it means to be a representative of your school.


I'll end with a quote from one student: "This was the most exciting week of the entire year!"  I know my students will keep me smiling all year long!


In God's Grace,
