Weekly Challenge: Did everyone remember
to do a Random Act of Kindness each day?
I heard of some pretty good ones!
This week we will be tying in our challenge with our annual Kitale, Kenya Fundraiser. We are asking people to give up something for one week
that would normally cost money and instead donate that money to our
missionaries, Larry and Francine Carruthers, who are going to buy shoes for
those they serve in Kitale. Shoes are
super important, as without them, Kenyans are very susceptible to disease and especially
a condition known as “jiggers” which leads to serious infections. There will be more information sent home
about this from the office. This
challenge runs from Wednesday,
Nov. 18th to Wednesday, Nov. 25th. We will follow the same dates for our weekly
challenge.
English – Spelling and
Vocabulary Test #2 was postponed to Monday, Nov. 16th.
We have finished chapter 12 and need to now just enjoy reading the book to its conclusion. It is very important you finish the novel by
Friday. There are only 19 chapters in
the book, so this means you only have to read 7 chapters over the next 5 days. On Friday afternoon, we will watch a movie
that was made based on the novel called Race
to Freedom.
I mentioned
to students that we would be doing a final project on the novel, but I have
decided to cancel that final
project as we will need class time to work on some aspects of the
fundraiser. Any student who desires to
continue with the project on his/her own time can receive bonus marks for
English as well as credits. See me
personally to work something out.
We will be videotaping a “Book Talk”
this week and uploading it to Fresh Grade.
The list of questions are on the blog and students are welcome to do
this at home if they want or they can do this at school during our free reading
time. This will be due on Monday.
Math
– We are starting to learn about percentages.
This week we will be watching these Math Antics videos and completing
the exercises and worksheets:

(Monday) and http://mathantics.com/index.php/section/lesson/PercentsAndEquivalentFractions
(Wednesday)
We will complete the ixl.com Grade 7 L.2 Convert between percents,
fractions and decimals as high as you can go for homework. (due Friday)
Bible - Memory Quiz on Friday
Ephesians
2: 8-10
For it is by grace you
have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the
gift of God— not by works, so that
no one can boast. 1 For we are God’s handiwork, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Social Studies – Now that we
have finished our Science Unit, we need to concentrate on finishing our first
Social Studies Unit. Please copy and
paste the Chapter 3: Down to Egypt Questions from the
blog. We will read the chapter in class
and you can work on the questions on google docs with a friend. Be careful that you each know and understand
the answers if you are working with someone.
(This will be due next Tuesday, Nov. 24th)
