February 12th - February 15th

Grade 7 Homework

Tuesday, February 12^th to Friday, February 15^th

Tuesday, February 12^th  – Bottle Depot Run after school for anyone who is able.  Mrs. Lee Rogers has volunteered to help.  There will be NO supper at Robideaus before KCC Youth as I am accompanying the Boys Basketball team to the Harlem Globetrotters in Penticton. 

  

Students began Middle School Electives last week.  Any problems or concerns with your electives should be taken to Mr. Kelly. 

Weekly Challenge- How did the veggie eating go?  This week, let’s all try to make our bed every morning.  This is just a good responsibility project that will exercise our self-discipline to:  1) remember to do it and 2) to actually do it.  This one isn’t tough, is it?  Let’s see who will be a challenge champ this week.  :) 

Art Project – due any time before February 24^th (is what I’ve been saying, but that is actually a Sunday, so we should be thinking more like Friday, the 22^nd) – I need to collect those red handouts with the proposal questions on the front and the marking rubric on the back.  P.S.  Emily Lengert is still looking for buttons of different sizes and colours for her project.  If you have some to donate, please send them with your child to school.  Thanks! 

Math – Take Home Chapter Test on Word Problems is due today!  Remember I said that  “this is also a bit of a responsibility project in that students must get a parent to sign it showing that their parents have checked to see that it has been completed.  Students will be docked 5% if they lose the booklet.”  

English – To conclude our unit on Writing Skills, students are to complete a “How to....” writing assignment that includes an illustration.  We will be continuing to work on this in class this week.  I am extending the due date on this assignment to Friday, February 22^nd.  

FSA’s On top of all this, FSA testing will go through out this week.  Again, I remind students and parents that these marks do not count for your grade, but they are an assessment of whether or not you are keeping up to a grade 7 level standard as compared to students across the province.  I think a number of our students will exceed the standards.  It is important that students are well rested, well fed and try their hardest, but no one needs to worry.  They will actually probably be kind of fun! :)
