Good Morning Division 1!

Feel free to click on the other headings on the top of this page.  

If you created your own day plan, get to it!  Otherwise, feel free to use mine.

Shape of the Day – Welcome back!

8:30 - 8:50am – Record your sleep patterns.

8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break.  Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around.

9:00 – 10:15am – Math – Check the Math Page and if interested, click on the other sites I’ve linked for more choice. 

10:15 – 11:15 – Go Outside.  Be active.  Be mindful. 
If you’d like to participate in the Scavenger Rock Hunt, today officially marks the start!
Have a look at the rocks below:



These have been placed strategically around various areas within the school vicinity: Bonniebrook, Grandview Trails, and the school itself.  Feel free to click on the Choice Activity page and scroll down to Scavenger Hunt for picture clues.

Your job is to find the rock, take a picture of yourself with it (leave it for the next person to find… no moving it away from where I placed it), and then email me the picture.  The first person to have all eight rocks emailed in to me wins a prize!  Good luck!

11:15 – 12:00 – Science  or  Social Studies (Please see the new page for social studies).  You may pick which subject you focus on for this time.

12:00 – 1:00 – Lunch Break

1:00 – 2:00 – Language Arts.  Remember to check the Language Arts Page.  The theme this week for Creative Writing is THE OCEAN.  

2:00 – 2:30 – Choice Activity – Head to the Choice Activity page and go for it!  Remember, acts of service are ALWAYS welcome.  Consider a way that you can both learn and do something to take the edge off of parents.  Perhaps you could learn to mow the lawn, or weed the garden, sweep the garage or driveway, de-ice a freezer, etc….  Ask your parent if they’d like to give you a chore and then don’t complain and just do it well, with a smile on your face!

Remember to breathe for three minutes.  Focus only on your breathing.  If a thought comes into your head, let it be with no judgment, and then go back to your breathing.  With each breath in and out, remind yourself that it is good to breathe.  When your three minutes are up, enjoy the space you created in your mind.  

You got this!

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...
