Gr. 7 Homework and Announcements Oct. 17th to Oct. 21st

Grade 7 Homework

Monday, Oct. 17^th to Fri, Oct. 21^st 

Announcements:

Relate Youth:  Large Group Gathering at the Church 7:00 to 9:00 Tuesday.  Youth Leaders from Chilliwack are helping lead this service.

Picture Day:  Friday, Oct. 21^st

Bottle Depot:  Periodically I will be asking if any students are willing to come to the bottle depot on Dease Road which is only a 7 minute walk from the school.  We will load my RAV up with bottles from the school and any bottles grade 7 families want to donate.  We will do this on alternate Tuesdays – Life Group nights so that students can stay at school, help with bottle depot, then go to Life Group.  The first one will be Tuesday, Oct. 25^th. The money collected will go into our class budget to be used for things like fun days, credit auction purchases and field trips.  I have done this for the last 7 years and the life skill learning is high for those students who have never experienced recycling at this level (moldy, sticky juice boxes, smelly bottle depot, rules of recycling etc.)  It’s always interesting for me to watch students in this environment in regards to work ethic, attitude and team spirit. 

Weekly Challenge:   How did students do on last week’s challenge  to do as many curl ups as they could each day? (minimum 20).  This week the challenge is to NOT eat any salty treats for the whole week.  (eg. chips, popcorn, pretzels, cheesies, Doritos, etc.)

Bible – Fill in the blank quiz on Friday morning.  Colossians 1: 13-14 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Science –On Tuesday, we will hear the final presentation from our special speaker, Mrs. Krista Clement as she presents on her 2 week expedition to the Arctic with the Vancouver Aquarium.

English  -  We are starting our novel study unit.  We, as a class,  have chosen the book, “Underground to Canada”.  The first assignment will be sent on google docs to the students this week.

                                                                                                                    

Book Talk:  Students are working on a video project in which they answer questions about a book they have read.  The assignment is available on the blog as well as hard copies in the classroom.  This is due on Monday, October 24th.
