CM Fit Day

Spartan students will be joining the rest of the 7th grade to take part in the annual Fit Day at CMS. Students have received letters about this and should have brought them home for parental review. Letters outlined the day's schedule, had a permission slip to be signed if the student wants to participate in a half mile competitive run, and gave a lunch menu for the day.

Please ask your child to see the Fit Day letter if they have not already given this to you.

Subjects and Predicates

Spartan students are learning about subjects and predicates in English class! This video was shown in class, but is a nice review of how to pick out the simple subject and simple predicate in a sentence. Please use it to give yourself a review, if necessary!
