Spring Break Booklets:  This week is a busy week for a large portion of this class due to so many students acting in Shrek.  Therefore, I did not want to give any homework this week.  The academic times this week will be filled with free reading, oral reading, journal writing, journal sharing and working on a Spring Break Booklet.  Unlike the Christmas Homework Booklet, this will not be optional.  It will contain some good brain stimulating activities and review work that will be able to be completed in the time allotted during school hours. However, if a student is not using his/her time wisely, it may need to come home.

Weekly Challenge: To get our brains back into the routine of learning again, the challenge this week will be to do a page of Math Minutes each day.  If you forget to do the sheet on the proper day, you can do it a later time and still get .5 for it.  You will receive the sheets on Monday.

Gr. 7 Announcements and Homework - March 6th to 10th

Grade 7 Homework

Monday, March 6^th to Friday, March 10^th  

Announcements:

* Relate Youth –Large Group – Lazer Tag - $7.00/game $11.00 for 2 games Meet at Planet Lazer at 6:30 p.m.

 * We will be going to the Okanagan Gymnastics Club this Wednesday from 12:00 – 1:00.  Unfortunately we don’t have a bus because our Sr. Boys Basketball team needs it for their Provincial tournament in Langley.  Therefore, I’m wondering if there are some parents able to drive students there (leave at 11:40) and we will walk back.  We will be eating lunch before we leave. Students MUST have their gym strip.  If we don’t have enough parents volunteer, we will either walk both ways or I will postpone this field trip until after Spring Break.

* Report Cards come out next Wednesday, March 15^th
