Grade
7 Weekly Planning Sheet
Monday,
January 7th to Friday, January 11th, 2019
Happy New Year!! I sincerely hope
that your Christmas break was a refreshing, restful time spent with family and
friends and the Lord. I had a wonderful holiday and am ready and eager to
return to the classroom where every day is one filled with the adventure of
growing and learning together.
As we begin the 2019 part of grade 7, we have a few things to wrap up:
Christmas Homework Booklets: Remember this?
“I have created a Christmas Homework Booklet 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 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.) “ Some parents have
already emailed me. Thank you!
Weekly Challenge – Let’s start the year off by
making intentional time for the Lord every day.
The challenge this
week is to spend at least 15 minutes a day in worship, prayer, Bible reading or
devotional reading. I suggest you
pick a regular time such as first thing in the morning or last thing at night,
but I will allow you some flexibility in organizing your time to suit your
lifestyle best. In order to be more consistent
in documenting this, I will require written evidence of this daily
discipline. Suggestions: Use your agenda to record what you did each
day on your “date” with Jesus. If you
are very techy, you can use an app to remind you each day and to even give you
a week long Bible Study to work through.
You could use a calendar to mark off the days. So let me be clear, on Monday, January 14th,
rather than just tell me your mark out of 7, you are going to SHOW me your mark
out of 7. No evidence. No mark.
Got it? (P.S. this is going to be the way from now on. Why? Because this is more what the Secondary
will be like and I want to prepare you. You are ready for this!)
Social Studies:
We left off in 2018 with reviewing the information in Chapter 4 of “The
History of the World in Christian Perspective”. We are going to play the Bingo
game again on Monday. You will then get
a sheet of all the information and we will highlight the top 10 to make up a quiz on
Friday.
