Grade 7 Weekly Planning Sheet
Monday, Sept. 30th to Friday, October 4th
What an
eventful week we had! If you haven’t
heard, Micah had a spill at the skatepark on Tuesday when his scooter broke.
Some of his classmates decided to raise money to buy him a new one. The cost was covered by the next morning
through donations from the class’s efforts! Another student’s family donated a
good, used helmet and we put the extra money raised into a gift card. Wow! See his reaction in this short video:
P.E. Weekly Challenge: Last week students were challenged to read for 20 minutes a day OUTSIDE
of class time. This week, the challenge is to receive 8 hugs a
day based on this information:
"Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy and gives the person hugged an emotional lift. You need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 for maintenance and 12 for growth. Scientists say that hugging is a form of communication because it can say things you don't have the words for. And the nicest thing about a hug is that you usually can't give one without getting one."

In this challenge, we are going to count pets as eligible
huggers. I will also allow hugs to the same person as long as an
hour has elapsed between hugs. Also, I feel like with this class of
predominantly boys, I must add that wrestling or putting someone in a choke
hold does NOT count as a hug. J
Students receive 1 mark per day they remember to complete the daily
challenge (including weekends).
Bible: We are grounding ourselves in the
biblical knowledge of who we are in Christ. The memory verse for
next week is: John 1:12
12 Yet to all who did receive him,
to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
On Friday, Oct. 4th students will be asked to write this
verse out in a fill in the blank format.
Novel Study: We are continuing Underground
to Canada as a novel study. Though
most of the work will be completed in class, some students require a little
extra time at home. Chapters 5-8 are due
for Monday, Oct. 7.
Looking Ahead
The next 2 weeks will be shorter as we have Professional
Development Days on Thursday, Oct. 10th and Friday, Oct. 11th and then
Thanksgiving is on Monday, Oct. 14th. There is NO SCHOOL on these days.
