A New Year!

Hello Families and Students,

I wish to welcome you to our Grade Seven Blog.  I will begin to update the blog frequently throughout the year.  Homework will be posted and information regarding trips and class information will also be found on this site.

I wish to thank you already for a fabulous start up.  Our students have found great success hiking and applying the skills in perseverance that were learned to their academic studies.  I hope to have a few more such experiences this year for those who were unable to attend, as the learning was invaluable.

For your information, coming up next week will be the Halloween Fun Fair on Wednesday, October 31st, hosted by Divisions 1 and 2.  Students may wish to dress up, but note that they will be particularly busy and thus costumes would want to be both durable and easy to move about in.

Also coming up Friday, November 9th will be our Remembrance Day Ceremony.  Students in Division 1 will be putting on the ceremony.  Please let me know in advance if you plan to be away, as each student will be assigned a role integral to the running of the event.

Finally, Grade 7 Hoodie orders have been collected and will be finalized next week.  The morning of Monday, October 29th will be the absolute last day that I can take in an order.  Pauline will be taking the orders into Sechelt and hoodies should be available by the beginning of December.

Kind regards,

Jen MacInnes.😁

Homework: 1) Practice your band instruments - in particular, Jurassic Park bars 10-30. 2) If you do not understand Order of Operations in math, please work to complete the booklet.  If you do understand, great!  For parents wanting to check in with your students, please follow the link to the math-drills website for some sample questions as a continuation of what we've been doing in class. https://www.math-drills.com/orderofoperations/ooo_integers_threesteps_negative_pemdas_001.php

Band Instruments:  Instrument pick up will happen on Wednesday, June 19th.  You can bring your instruments in at anytime prior to this.  Please make sure they are labeled with your name (first and last) and your division number (1).  If they are not handed in specifically to me, this will not be considered handed in.  There are many instruments in the back of the classroom... students will have to claim them first, label them, and then hand them in officially. Vancouver Field Trip (Wednesday, June 12th 2019): Please note the ferry change - We will be returning back to Gibsons on the 4:40pm from Horseshoe Bay.  In other words, at Langdale by 5:20pm. Students will want to wear comfortable clothes that they can move around easily in.  A hand towel may come in handy when finishing up with archery tag, as students will likely want to wash their feet when finished. Students will need a hearty lunch, plenty of snacks, and a water bottle. Homework: A...

 Welcome Back to Week 8!  That's right, only 8 weeks left of grade 7. Please keep your reading logs up to date.  You will find copies of reading logs at the back of the room.  Please practice being responsibility by picking up a new reading log when you need one and then handing them in on Mondays.  The idea is that you read for 30 minutes each night and then get your parent to sign off.  Finally, you hand this in on Monday morning. In Language Arts, we have started Literature Circles.  The first weekly summary is due on Wednesday, May 5th.  Please note that Character Attribute Outlines are due on Tuesday, May 11th. This coming Wednesday we will meet with Elphi staff to welcome our grade 7s!  There will be a parent meeting as well.  Please check your email boxes for a zoom invite. In Math,  our pre-test was today, the test will be tomorrow.  If you'd like a practice question, please see the one below: This is the last week to c...
