I want my classroom to be a safe place where students are not afraid to be themselves. I believe in a lot of mutual respect. I give it to my students and expect it in return. What Redeemer Lutheran School means to me: Redeemer is a blessing to me. I love to see the lights go on in my students eyes. The best part about teaching at Redeemer is that I get to share Jesus with my students every day. We can talk openly about the wonderful things God has done and is doing for us.   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.   Galations 5:22-23 Grade 7 Curriculum Overview Math: Geometry, Algebraic equations, order of operation, and working with data Language Arts: Expository writing, writing research essays, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and speech Reading: Novels and short stories and research for essays Social Studies: American History from World War I through World War II Technology: Multimedia presentations used in speeches and online research Science: Chemical bonds and reactions, cell division, genetics and weather.
