MS. BOBO  Cambridge scientists have been

exploring Earth Science this nine

weeks! They learned about the

structure of the Earth, plate

tectonics, and conducted a lab

about the density of Earth’s

layers! Cambridge students are

currently studying the rock cycle

and how the landscape of our

planet is constantly changing.

Coming up: We will be

investigating the History of Earth

next and how living things change

over time.

 MR. EHRLICH Wow! The Cambridge learners have been awesome in Civics this year. We have covered so much already from the Enlightenment influences all the way through our Constitution, the three branches of government and law. Highlights include the student's “break-up letters” to the King, their newscast on the legislative branch and creative Judicial branch brochures! I am also extremely proud of their fantastic scores on all tests so far!

Coming up: After we return from break, we will learn about Federalism, Citizenship and much more!

MRS. KENNY 7th Grade Civics kicks off with a lot

of heavy topics and the Cambridge

students have risen to the occasion!

They have tackled the big ideas

relating to the origins of American

government including separation of

powers, checks and balances, and

individual rights. They have flexed

their creative muscles, creating

artwork representative of what they

have been learning. It’s been a fun

experience getting to know the

varying talents and personalities of

all the students in class!

Coming up: We will continue

learning about the types of law and

landmark U.S. Supreme Court

Cases.

MS. LESTER  Cambridge Learners are working hard on functions! We have compared functions and constructed functions to model linear relationships.

Coming up: After the winter

break we will sketch

functions from verbal

descriptions and analyze

and interpret the sketch of a

graph of a function.

 MRS. WARD ELA Cambridge Learners have

been hard at work! We have

been working on our reading and

writing skills, informational and

literary text and well as

informative writing. We have

also plugged into poetry and

analyzing meaning.

Coming up: We will be arguing,

argumentative writing that is! As

7th graders we will be adding

counterclaim and rebuttal.

Announcing our very first SuperRICERS! 

Our seventh grade Cambridge Academy students started off the year on the right foot by exhibiting the Cambridge Learner Attributes in their new classes. Throughout the semester the Cambridge Academy Teachers have observed the students in action. To acknowledge those students who consistently modeled ALL of the Attributes, the teachers nominated students who have been given our very first SuperRICER Awards! Congratulations to this semester’s winners! Jayme Flores -- “Always greets you with a smile! She is always prepared, engaged and willing to work with any group she placed to get the job done!”

Sulfika Michel -- "Sulfika embodies the Cambridge Learner Attributes. She is constantly working to achieve her highest potential, and she also encourages others to do their best and represent the Cambridge program in a positive light."
