WELCOME TO JUNIOR HIGH!!!!!!
During Junior High, you will take two major tests, the Terra Nova test in
March of Seventh Grade and the High School Entrance Exam in January of Eighth
Grade. One of the best ways to prepare yourself for these tests is to READ.
In light of that, we are requiring all incoming seventh grade students to
read FOUR books this summer. One book can be of your choosing, we have
picked the remaining three for you. Attached to this note, are two sets of
questions for you to answer. You may choose either of the sets for each of
the four books. These assignments are due the first FULL day of school in
August.
Required books: Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings; Rules by Cynthia Lord; The
Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen
Mrs. Wilson has a website set up at www.teacherweb.com/Il/StCajetan/mwilson.
If you are assigned to Room 210, you can check the Room 210 section for
information for homeroom classes throughout the school year. I post homework
assignments daily. If you are in Room 208, you can check the Grade 7 Science
section for assignments in Science. Again, homework will be posted daily.
Mrs. Wilson will post the list of books and the lists of questions under the
Announcements section of the website.
Parents, if you have any questions, you can email us at either
mwilson@cajetan.org (for Melissa Wilson, Room 210) or cbrannagan@cajetan.org
(for Colleen Brannagan, Room 208).
Have a safe and relaxing summer!
Ms. Brannagan
