Grade 7 Homework Sheet

 Monday January 13 to Friday, January 17^th

KCC Youth Tonight – Supper at the Robideaus – We will not be doing bottles today after school as unfortunately, the bottles that were in my class before Christmas disappeared.  If parents want to bring in bottles over this next week, we will take them in next Monday. 

2 Week Challenge – Our challenge for the next 2 weeks is to read a devotional from a book every day.  If you don’t have one, I have some I could lend you.  The library also has some.  You could use the teen devotional website we have listed on the left hand side of our classroom blog.  If you can’t find a book, how about 10 minutes of Scripture reading followed by prayer.  If you have a daily family devotional time, you may count that.  The key here is to give God some of your personal time each day – reading His word and praying.  As a discipline, I would like you to spend a minimum of 10 minutes on this each day. Now that we have learned about SOAP, you could do this for the second week of this challenge. 

Bible Memory Quiz – Friday morning

Romans 12:2     Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Last week, we worked through a math review sheet.  This week we will complete this exercise as a quiz. 

Reminders:

·         January will be a month of preparing and practicing for the Foundational Skills Assessment that will take place during the days of February 11^th, 12^th and 13^th.  Please try not to make any appointments for your child during this time. 

·         Starting the first week of February, the grade 7’s will be joining with the grade 8’s and 9’s in Electives.  This will change our schedule a little bit in that these classes take place every second day from 1:45 to 3:00 on the Day 1/Day 2 High School schedule.  Mr. Kelly will have elective sheets ready to hand out to the grade 7’s to make their selections by the last week of January.
