Grade 7 Homework

 Monday, September 16th

Due:  Friday, September 20th                   

Announcements:  *Yes, it is true – any grade 7 student who wants to attend the KCC Youth on Monday Nights is invited to my house! After school we will take the school’s bottles   to be recycled (money is for our class budget). Then students will hang out at my house or Ben Lee, have supper and then walk over to youth.  Parents can pick their child up at the church at 8:45.  Do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have. 

* Music Elective sheets are due on Friday, Sept. 30^th

* P.E. times are Mondays and Fridays. Students need an HCS Gym shirt and school shorts or appropriate length gym shorts or sweatpants. Non-marking running shoes are also required. Gym strip marks will be taken.

Weekly Challenge – As we discussed, school is your main job right now.  It’s your responsibility to know what’s going on.  However, your parents are part of the team and so this week your job is to make sure they are in the loop.  Check and see if they have done the following 3 things:  1) emailed me if I don’t already have their email address (jrobideau@heritagechristian.ca)  2) filled out the sheet with info about you 3) Gone to our class blog at www.robideauclass.blogspot.ca (another way to access it is through the school website at www.heritagechristian.ca  - under “school life”, “elementary” and then “grade 7”)  

Math – Complete a 5 Minute Frenzy sheet at home.  Suggestion:  take a few copies and race someone at home.  Remember to record your time. 

English -   Every day students will have some free reading time.  However, it is expected that students will be reading at home as well.  Students have a chart called “The Pyramid of Reading Success” which is a year- long assignment to read 10 books in certain genres.  Allowances can be made for students who find reading difficult.  I’ve asked the students to discuss with me any changes they would like to make to the pyramid so that it is enough of a challenge for them but not too overwhelming. 

It was a great start to the school year!!  I am very impressed with your sons and daughters!  They are cooperative, respectful and hardworking.  They care about each other and have been attentive and involved during our morning devotions.  Please feel welcome to pop in any time.  I have an open door policy.  Thanks, too, for your prayers.  I welcome them!
