During benchmark week, our BMS students practiced a strategy they can use on any multiple-choice question: Prove it or eliminate it!
Students marked the key words in each question, found evidence in the passage, and checked every answer choice. If an answer couldn’t be supported by the text, they eliminated it. The goal is to choose the answer they can prove, not just one that sounds right!

Our students are bringing algorithms to life through coding!
They are learning to use variables, build sequences, and debug their programs when things don't work as planned. Every challenge strengthens their problem-solving skills, creativity, confidence, and perseverance.

See What We’re Learning in 7th Grade ELA!
Our students are diving into The Outsiders while strengthening their reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills. This week, they read and annotated a passage, reflected on important details, identified a theme, and supported their thinking with evidence from the text.
Ask your child what theme they identified and which details helped support their answer!

Great job supporting students as they engaged in close reading and deepened their understanding of the text!
