About Ms. Khaleel:
I have been teaching for two years at St. Joseph Catholic School. I hold a B.A. in Education from Washington State University and have recently completed a Master of Education in Language, Literacy, and Technology. I enjoy building positive relationships with my young scholars and honoring their God-given gifts by incorporating their funds of knowledge into the classroom. Outside of school, I love reading novels and staying active by working out. I also value spending time with my family. As a lifelong learner, I am always grateful for opportunities to grow, deepen my knowledge, and continue furthering my education.
Hands-on learning in a faith-filled environment helps our 7th grade students grow in mind, body, and spirit. At St. Joseph, education is more than academics — it’s about developing strong values and lifelong learners.
During the year, 7th grade students will focus on the following:
Pre-Algebra: Statistics, Proportional Reasoning, Fractions, Linear Equations, Functions, Geometry and Measurement. Students are also able to take Algebra 1 based on their individual level.
Develop complex writing strategies applying punctuation, grammar, and syntax skills, while critiquing their own and other’s writing.
Students regularly practice grammar skills to strengthen their writing and communication. Direct instruction and rigorous practice focus on identifying and using parts of speech, including verb forms, complements, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and verbals.
Folk tales, mythology, and historical fiction come alive for seventh graders as they read novels, short stories, and poetry. Emphasis is focused on reading fluency and comprehension. Through in-depth reading, students learn to analyze literature and make connections between the events in a book and those in their own lives. These works serve as inspiration for the students to become storytellers and write their own original folk tales and myths.
Students will participate in a variety of writing activities, including personal narratives, creative writing (fantasy fiction), expository writing, and book reviews.
