KCC  Relate Youth –  WINTER CARNIVAL ! We will take the school recycling in to the depot (feel free to bring in yours as well), then we will come to Mrs. Robideau’s for supper.  At 6:45, students head over to the church.

2 Week Challenge –  This is the 2^nd Week of our challenge  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 as an option as well. 

 Foundational Skills Assessment will take place during the days of February 10^th, 11^th and 12^th.  Please try not to make any appointments for your child during this time.  These are the required government tests that B.C. students write in grades 4 and 7.  They are evaluated in Math, Reading, and Writing.  Parents will receive the results in early March.  They do NOT count for grade 7 report cards.  These tests are used to basically measure whether a student is meeting requirements for the grade and to compare schools to each other.  Students do NOT need to be stressed about these tests!  Other than trying their very best on every test, there is no pressure!

Art:  Students have been introduced to the project assignment that will need to be completed any time before the end of the 2^nd trimester. (February 27^th)  Basically it is to choose, ANY project that could be considered “art” and complete it on your own time.  There will be a worksheet to guide their selection and a rubric to show how it will be marked. (This is now on the blog if students misplace their sheets.)  All projects need to be okayed through me. Students can work on their projects at school for the next few weeks as I will be orally reading to them a historical novel that matches with our Social Studies unit at the end of the day. Students are welcome to multi-task by doing their Art Project while listening to the book.  

English:  Students are working with a partner on writing dialogues.  Once Mrs. Robideau has approved the dialogue, it will be displayed on the back bulletin board and the students will receive 10 credits each.  

Math:  Students have been working hard getting their heads around LCD’s (lowest common denominators) in order to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.  Besides worksheets in class, students will need to complete ixl.com Gr. 7 - G.3 and G. 4  Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators  We will have a quiz on this on Friday, January 23^rd
