7th Grade - Mr. Quinlan

-
Welcome to 7th Grade … Hello, my name is Mr. Quinlan and I am happy to be teaching Math to our middle school students, but I'll also be teaching 7th grade Religion and Vocab. We will be using a new math series this year and two different texts for Religion, along with several other resources to help the students develop their relationship with our Lord.
In addition to returning as a teacher at the school, I also serve in the position of Youth Minister for our CRUSH Youth Ministry. I look forward to getting to know all of our middle school students and helping them to improve their math abilities. I also hope to encourage them to consider joining CRUSH once they move on to high school.

Course Description
-
We utilize the Chosen Religion text in 7th grade to help prepare the students for Confirmation.
Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation is a twenty-four-lesson program that prepares students both intellectually and spiritually to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, and to become lifelong disciples of Christ. All too often we see teens drift away from the Church after Confirmation. Chosen seeks to reverse this trend by winning over the hearts of teens at a critical time in their lives and keeping them firmly planted within the faith community of the Church. We use Chosen as a two-year curriculum, beginning in 7th grade and completing in 8th grade.
We will also be utilizing materials from Ascension Press, Loyola Press, Dynamic Catholic, and other resources to fully integrate our faith into their daily lives.The students also fully participate at weekly Masses and Confirmation retreats.

Glencoe’s Pre-Algebra text is used for both courses. Students in Pre-Algebra I are taught basic algebraic concepts and their applications to real-life situations, and a Geometry unit is taught in the second trimester. In addition, we use iReady and a skills practice warm-up exercise to provide the students with additional support.
