It's me, your fave grade 7 homeroom teacher! Do you like the pic I have? I think I figured out how to make my own banner pictures so I will be changing them often. This is a picture taken at Universal Studios last year with my family.
We had a really good conference on Thursday. Mr. M was one of the presenters and he showed off his techie teaching tips to a packed room! Congrats Mr. M! Guess what?? It was his birthday on Thursday, too!! This means that we need to sing to him and then we need to continually harass him all day long. If you can guess how old he is right now, I will give you 5 credits.
First of all, let's start our day off with a powerful remembrance of what this last weekend was all about. I am going to show you a video that is part of a classic sermon preached by a great man of God. Not only will it send shivers up your spine spiritually, but mind the amazing vocabulary and wording of this articulate lover of the Lord Jesus. (Words are powerful and help communicate the POWER of our Almighty King!)
That's My King! That's OUR King! Hallelujah!!
I got a little bogged down when I was marking the Pistol Pete paragraphs. I saw how you were starting to get the hang of some good paragraph structure! I want to read out loud to you some of those STELLAR paragraphs and then maybe do a little editing exercise. Right now. Before we get sidetracked. Let's do it!
There were also a number of assignments handed in without names, so we better sort that out so I can enter the marks in Students Achieve.
Are you finding that you are getting a little behind? Are you finding on Students Achieve that you have missed some Vocabulary Tests or a Quiz or 2? Are you wishing you had some extra practice time on concepts that aren't clicking (like simplifying fractions)? Is it hard for you to stay after school or are you, like me, just too worn out from the day to stay longer? Well, have I got the deal for you!!!! It's called, " C - U Saturday Morning (C-U stands for Catch Up) !" Come to the school this Saturday any time from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 a.m. and enjoy some juice, muffins and some one on one teacher time! Even if you aren't behind, you can come and get me to edit something you are working on, or even just spend some time in a quieter work environment.
The Golf-a-thon is coming up soon - Friday, April 20th as a matter of fact. Remember how I told you the secret to how my family won the Disney Trip the first year? We sent out emails! Why don't you copy and paste this little message, make some changes how you want, and send it out??? Surely you must have Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Grandpas, other relatives and friends who support Christian Education and want to help our school and help you to win some great prizes????
Dear _______________,
I attend Heritage Christian School and I really love my school a lot. I have great friends there and teachers who care about me. One thing that is special about my school is that they have a policy that no family will be denied enrollment to our school due to finances. We believe that every family is entitled to the choice of a Christian education! That's why they have a very generous financial assistance program. On Friday, April 20th, I am going to be participating in a golf-a-thon to help raise funds for this program. If you would like to sponsor me per hole, I will try hard to finish 100 holes within 3 and 1/2 hours. If you would rather sponsor me with a donation, then you can just write a cheque to Heritage Christian School or work out how to get me the money before Friday, May 4th.
Thanks so much for helping me and my school out!
Love,
_______________
Now, we should go for a walk!
We have Spanish/French, then Music, then Lunch. In the afternoon, we are going to read out loud a reader's theatre on "The Odyssey". This will conclude our Greek Unit. We will need to a Unit Test next week. We have only one unit left in Social Studies - that is Ancient Rome. We will start this after we conclude our Science Unit on Density/Volume. We are right on track!
So that's today - with tidbits of things to come. Have I told you lately that I love you and I love being your teacher??? Well I DO!!
