Wednesday's Plan for When Mrs. R Takes off to L.A. Without You



Good Morning Everyone! 

I’m really sorry that I am abandoning you like this, but I know that you are also happy for me!  I honestly will miss you and look forward to seeing you in the New Year. 
It’s really important that you all do your jobs faithfully and help Mr. Casavant by being obedient.  I know you will because you are an amazing class!! 

Okay, so here is the plan for today:
Jerry will do attendance as usual.  Thanks Jerry! 

You will watch another 20 minutes or so of “The Nativity”. Enjoy the incredible story of how a righteous young woman and a trusting man of God help bring our Saviour into the world.  (to make the DVD player work, you have to click the digital projector remote to “video” or video one”) The movie is in the player, but you will have to tell Mr. Casavant where you are in the movie.  (use the grey DVD remote to work the DVD player) 

Go for a walk around Ben Lee.  Would some people please walk with Lucy and make sure you sing “The First Noel” at least 3 times.  :)  I have a feeling she is not going to be happy that I am not there.  :(  Those who can verify that they are doing at least 20 minutes of DPA in other ways can stay behind and set up the computers for the class.  

When you come back, work on the following in any order but make sure you are getting the journal and typing in before 11:15 because that is when we will have journal sharing.  I’m asking that at 11:15, if Emily and Kendra would select the groups from the “I Have Been Chosen” jar and send the groups to the various places.  They can also be the ones to explain this activity to Mr. Casavant.  (not a hundred other students trying to talk at the same time.)  :) 

* Typing (record book is open on my desk) 

* Journal
Possible topics:  Write a story entitled, “Mrs. Robideau’s  L.A. Adventure”
Write a poem that uses the words, “mystery”, “snow”, “reindeer” and “gifts”
Plan out your Christmas Holiday
Write out a list of imaginary gifts you would give to everybody in the class

*Work on the Christmas Booklet.  (Mr. Casavant will have the Answer Key booklet for you now too.)

* You must finish the Math Puzzle Booklet by tomorrow and put it in the blue box.  Make sure your name is on it. 

*Those who need/want retests of the Vocabulary Test may do so this morning before 11:15.  Please choose a time all together.  Is there a volunteer to read the words to those retesters in the library??? Mr. Casavant can pick. 

*This afternoon, Mrs. Bell’s group has their final session.  Please sign the card Ben R. has on behalf of all of you. 

*Some of you who have TACKY  CHRISTMAS SWEATERS may attend Elementary Chapel this afternoon as they will be judging the sweaters there. 

After last recess from 2:00 to 2:15, you may watch “The Nativity” if you want.  This may finish off the movie, I’m not exactly sure how much we will have left at this point. 

CLEAN UP really, really well.  Sam, remember to take out the garbage!! 

I LOVE you all!!

Merry Christmas Homework!!

Grade 7 Homework
 Monday Dec. 17th – Friday, Dec. 21st
Weekly Challenge-Bible Assignment: 
Don’t forget to be a good Silent Angel ! A note of encouragement, a cookie from your lunch, a little gift.......be creative and bless someone this week!
Announcements:
Tacky Christmas Sweater Day – Thursday, December 19th  The Student Government is also selling candy canes for a dollar in the mezz at lunch.  You can designate who you want the candy cane to go to and it will be delivered in class to them on Thursday.   The money will go to the Stoesz family. 
Carlee Matvieshen in grade 9 had the wonderful nudge from God to hold a food drive for the Rutland Food Bank that KCC runs.  Please bring in a non-perishable food item!!  There are prizes for the student who brings in the most. 
On Thursday afternoon, we will be playing the game, `”Underground to Canada” outside at Ben Lee Park so dress appropriately!!!
On Friday morning, we will be joining the High School for Christmas Carolling at various Senior Retirement homes.  Some of you may be walking to your places, so dress appropriately. 
English – Spelling and Vocabulary Test – Tuesday, December 18th  The words are on the blog and on the last Homework Sheet.  Students have completed a review crossword puzzle but for most students, more study is required.
Christmas Homework Booklet – Students will be given a booklet of worksheets that review and challenge students on material in Math, English and Bible.  Students are encouraged to be working on it this week, but it will probably end up being homework over the holidays. If your family is going away during the break or will be extra busy, you can make the parental decision to not make your child do it over the break.  I have created this more with the intention that children who are “bored” over the holidays will have something to keep their minds stimulated.  I don’t mean for it to add extra stress on families who may already be stressed.  J  Students will be given a completion mark out of 10 for HACE when they return on Jan. 7th, but I will just give an “excused” in students achieve for those students who return the booklet with a note from their parents stating that they were too busy or unable to complete it.  (Parents could also email me.)
