Welcome to Seventh Grade
|
Curriculum:
In sixth grade social studies, we focus on the Western Hemisphere and Core Concepts of Geography. Seventh grade social studies shifts to the Eastern Hemisphere, making stops in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. We end the year with creating our own countries and governments. For 8th grade social studies, everything revolves around the history of the United States, beginning with early exploration and ending with Reconstruction after the Civil War. Sixth and seventh grade math focus on different aspects of geometry, algebra, data/statistics, number sense, and computation. In eighth grade, the students take Algebra 1 and focus on building the groundwork to either take Algebra again in high school or move forward to Geometry

Getting to know Mr. Furman
I will be starting year number 11 at Saint Wendel! My wife Krystal and I have also been married for 11 years. We have one son, Camden, who is 8 years old. I am a lifelong fan of the Chicago White Sox and could spend hours talking about baseball. I also root for the Chicago Bears and Chicago Blackhawks.
