Grade 7 Homework

Monday, May 1^st   to Friday, May 5^th

Announcements:

Cell Phones in Class:  This is the first year that I have had so many grade 7 students with cell phones.  Unfortunately enough students find themselves distracted by their phones that the time has come for a general class rule to be issued.  Here it is: Cell phones should be kept either locked in your locker or kept out of sight for the entire school day!  The exception is for students in the gym at recess.  One student may bring his/her cell phone to keep track of the time and make sure the rest of the students return to class on time.  If students need to contact their parents, they can ask permission from me to contact a parent on their phone during a break time.

Relate Youth – This Tuesday, May 2^nd is going to be a FREE BARBEQUE with the Master’s Commission Team from Chilliwack coming to lead and serve. BRING FRIENDS!  A mini-ramp will be set up for skateboarders in the church parking lot as well as other fun activities.

Weekly Challenge:  How did you do with abstaining from 2 things at the same time?  This week, let’s try doing a little physical training to set us up for when Mr. Shesky comes.  Do a set of 10 situps, 10 pushup and 10 leggies each day.  (Please feel free to do more if this is too easy. Make it a physical challenge as well as a remembering challenge.)
