Weekly Planning Sheet - Sept. 17th to 21st

Grade 7 Weekly Planning Sheet

Monday, Sept. 17^th to Friday, Sept. 21

Congratulations!

We all successfully completed our first full week of school! I feel like we got off to a great start and I’m anticipating more wonderful weeks ahead. Here is our first Gr. 7 Weekly Planning Sheet. This information should go into your agendas.

Daily Physical Activity:  As you may have heard from your child, we walk around Ben Lee Park and stop at the Skateboard Park from approximately 9:00 to 9:20 every morning.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather and has a helmet if they choose to roller blade, scooter or skateboard.

P.E. Weekly Challenges – Every week the class will be given a challenge to help encourage healthy habits. You will be asked to either do something (eg. sit ups everyday) or abstain from something (eg. no chocolate).   On the following Monday, I will take in the marks (out of 7 – one mark per day).  These marks will comprise 25% of a student’s P.E. grade.  The challenge for this week is to read the “Who I Am in Christ” sheet every day. 

This is a great way to “wash our brains” with the truth to combat filthy lies. 

English – Students are to video tape a “Book Talk” to be shown to the class on Monday, September 24^th.  The details of the assignment are on a separate blog post called: Book Talk Assignment.

Spelling and Vocabulary: Students need to be able to spell, define and use the word correctly in a sentence for the quiz on Friday.  Students are encouraged to create their own sentences but may memorize these sentences if they need to.  They do not need to memorize the part of speech. We will have class time to practice these.
