Grade 7 Homework Sheet
Monday January 6th to Friday,
January 10th
Happy New Year!! I
sincerely hope that your Christmas break was a refreshing, restful time spent
with family and friends and the Lord. I had a wonderful holiday and am
ready and eager to return to the classroom where every day is one filled with
the adventure of growing and learning together.
Christmas Homework Booklets:
I noticed that many of these booklets were left in the classroom. As I
mentioned in the email to your parents, this was indeed up to your parents as
to whether or not you would have time to complete it. As promised, those
who were able to complete it will get 50 credits.
I am still willing to offer 25 credits
to anyone who has it completed and handed in by the end of the day on
Friday. It’s full of great review exercises and some mind stimulating activities.

2 Week
Challenge – Did anyone
receive a devotional book for Christmas? Do some of you own one that you
have never read? 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.
What’s Ahead in 2014?
·
January will be a month of preparing and
practicing for the Foundational
Skills Assessment that will take place during the days of February 11th, 12th
and 13th. 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.
