Weekly Planning Sheet Monday, Dec. 17th to Thursday, Dec. 20th


Grade 7 Weekly Planning Sheet
Monday, Dec. 17 to Thursday, Dec. 20th  
  


Elementary Christmas Concert – Sincere thanks go out to all those students who stepped up to be part of helping out with this year’s concert.  It was a smashing success as the true message of Christmas was shared, giving great honour and praise to the King! 

Bible Assignment- Silent Angel Project finishes on Thursday, Dec. 20th.  Finish strong!  The explanation of this assignment is on the blog under the title “Assignment:  Silent Angel” This will take the place of a weekly challenge. 

Math – Quiz this Wednesday on Adding and Subtracting Fractions. 

Christmas Homework Booklet – Students will be given a booklet that is meant to review and challenge students on material in Math, English and Bible.  Students are encouraged to be working on it this week, but it will probably end up being homework over the holidays. If your family is going away during the break or will be extra busy, you can make the parental decision to excuse your child from this work.  I have created this more with the intention that children who are “bored” over the holidays will have something to keep their minds stimulated.  I don’t mean for it to add extra stress on families who may already be stressed.  J  Students will be given a completion mark out of 10 and a 25 credit bonus for it when they return on Jan. 7th, but I will just give an “excused” for those students who return the booklet with a note from their parents stating that they were too busy or unable to complete it.  (Parents could also email me.) 

Next week is going to be a very busy, short week!  Here are some of the highlights:

Monday, Dec. 17th
Tuesday, Dec. 18th
Wednesday, Dec. 19th  
Thursday, Dec. 20th
