Weekly Planning Sheet February 24th to February 28th


Grade 7 Weekly Planning Sheet

Monday, February 25th to Friday, February 28th , 2020

Weekly Challenge – There was some confusion about the challenge last week because I forgot to go over it with the class.  So, this week, you have the option of re-doing the one from last week which was to abstain from any t.v. series. (family movies are okay), re-doing an earlier one that you didn’t do well on, or taking a break from challenges.

Airhouse Field Trip – We are going to the Airhouse on Wednesday as a supplement to our Gymnastics unit in P.E. If your child has ever been to Airhouse, you DO NOT have to resign a waiver.  However, if your child has never been to the Airhouse, you MUST fill out the online waiver form. You can go to the website or go directly to here: 

Airhouse Link for Waiver


You don’t have to pay anything unless you don’t own grip socks (socks with rubber strips or rubber dots on the bottom).  You will need to pay $4.00 to buy them.  Also, we are walking to the Airhouse, so please dress appropriately to the weather than morning. 

Gr. 7 Saints Basketball  – The boys have a 5:30 game today at HCS against RMS.  Come 20 - 30 minutes early. Go Saints! (The Senior Girls won the Valley tournament are going on to PROVINCIALS! The Saints are on a roll!)

Art Projects- Yikes!  Monday is 3rd and ART PROJECTS are DUE! The absolute final deadline to have your project done is Friday, March 6th to avoid a 0.  Remember, this is your Art mark for the second trimester. The self-evaluation questions must be completed as well.  They have been emailed as well as posted on the blog.

Have a HEART for Kitale, Kenya Fundraiser: This is the last week to bring in money for our amazing missionaries who are caring for so many precious people.  Our class incentives were these: If the class brings in $123, the class gets a day of playing games. If the class brings in $246, we get a pizza party.  If the class brings in $369, we rent the Rutland Arena for hockey and skating.  The deadline to bring in money is Monday, March 2nd.

Bible – Students will be given a sheet with verses guiding our speech.  They are to pick out one of the verses and the translation they want and memorize it for Friday’s quiz.  They also need to have a master copy from which to mark it from.

Weekly Challenge – How did the challenge go to send a card (bought or homemade) to someone by Canada Post?  This week, we are going to be abstaining from any television series – whether it be viewed on a t.v. screen or a computer screen.  
 
Gr. 7 Saints Basketball  – Because Monday was a holiday, the boys will play this Thursday, at HCS against KLO at 5:30.  Please be there at least 15 minutes early.

Art Projects- Although it seemed so very far away when it was first introduced, the deadline for Art Projects is Monday, March 2nd which is in 2 weeks.  This is just a friendly reminder to be working on them.  Also, don’t forget to fill out the self- evaluation form and question sheet which is on the blog in an older post as well as sent to you by email. 

Darlene Unrau – Parent Night:  I highly recommend all parents attend this session!  It is Thursday from 6:00 to 8:30 in the Fellowship Room at KCC.  Darlene is one of the best speakers I have ever heard on issues around relationships and especially as a communicator to teenagers.  She is the one speaking to grade 7’s to 12’s over these next two weeks and has important things to say to you, their parents.

Kitale Fundraiser:  The fundraiser will start on Wednesday, February 12th.  Raise money and bring it to the office before Tuesday, March 3rd.
On Thursday, March 5th, we will have a big celebration by holding a Kitale Carnival in the Gym.  (Each class must raise $220 in order to come.) Wear PINK or RED that day!

Monday, February 3rd to Friday, February 7th, 2020
Weekly Challenge – It was interesting to hear from students whether the effort to minimize excess physical contact was valuable or not.  For my part, I did notice an improvement at school and hope you saw the same at home amongst siblings
Since I have been reading the book, “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” out loud to them for the last few weeks, I thought we better put our focus back on independent reading.  The challenge this week is for 20 minutes of reading outside school time every day.

Gr. 7 Basketball  Practice - Boys practice Thursday, Feb. 6th  from 3:15 – 5:00. First game is at Springvalley on Monday, Feb. 10th @ 6:45 p.m.

Science Lab went……. FANTASTIC!  It was very successful with high student engagement and exciting experiments that all worked out! 

Drama Class – Added to our schedule this semester will be a Drama class every Wednesday afternoon from 12:50 to 2:00.  We will be learning elements of Improvisation as well as choosing a project in creating a chapel skit, making a video or performing a puppet show for the Kindergarten. 

Bible Memory- Friday, February 7th
Romans 8:38,39
 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Typing Lessons:  Students should be finished all 100 by now and their Words Per Minute scores will be reflected on the next report card.  I will send home an email for any students that are still not done so they can finish at home.

Art Project:  This isn’t due until March 3rd, but it’s a good idea to choose a project really soon so you will have time to collect supplies and work on it over the next month.  (Details of this assignment are on a blog post entitled “Art Project”)
