Good morning Mrs. Kirk and Grade 7 Students,
I will be praying for you all today as I travel to
Vancouver. I will be sure to have one or
two interesting things to share from Sir Ken Robinson’s talk when I
return. I hope that you will have one or
two interesting things to share about how today went for everyone. I am trusting that this class will behave in
such a way that Mrs. Kirk will desire to return. I am confident that you grade 7’s will be
cooperative, obedient, and helpful in every way.
Here is the plan:
8:30 – 9:15ish –Jemma will
take attendance and Mrs. Kirk will play the end of the last 37 minutes of the
movie, “In the Beginning”. Mrs. Kirk will pray for the day before DPA.
9:15ish – 9:30ish – DPA – Everybody walks to the skate park and
back. Anyone who enters behind Mrs. Kirk
will pay 5 credits. Our bounty hunter,
Riley, will be in charge of this. Kaelin
will stay behind and get the computers and stack them on Mrs. R’s desk.
(Consequence for lateness) (Do not use
the computers until recess.) Sorry, but
Ky will not be accompanying you on the walk today.
9:30ish to 9:55 – Complete
the Social Studies, Chapter 2 Matching Quiz on my desk. When you are finished turn it over and draw
on the back until recess. Those who need
more time can take recess time. Hand it in
to the blue box. Max can study in the
resource room during this time as he is writing the test on Monday.
9:55 – 10:15 RECESS
10:20 – 10:45ish – Reading Buddies – Sledding at Ben Lee (Amanda, our photographer, should take the
camera to get some good shots with our buddies)
Mrs. Gom may decide it is too cold to go sledding, in which case you
will just read with your buddies and we will plan sledding for another time.
10:45 – 11:30 – CHOICES (The following activities are acceptable
choices. Please choose wisely – do the
most important things first or the item you are behind on.)

at 100% yet. If you absolutely can’t,
then don’t make yourself crazy, but try to do some more today.
