This week is eventful as always.
Monday-problem of the week and paragraph of the week are being handed out today. They are both due on Friday.
Some of you may find that the paragraph of the week is quite simple for grade 7, however there are many ways that it can be made challenging. As a group, we are working on developing our ideas and writing more detailed paragraphs. We have looked at topic sentences and how to hook our readers, concluding sentences and how to bring a paragraph to a close, and of course how to use facts, ideas, and evidence to explain our thinking. All of these things can be used to fully develop a paragraph. If your child is ready for more, they can use the topic from the paragraph of the week, but move on to writing multiple paragraphs. We have discussed this in class a numbers of times as well.
Tuesday-Constable Barfoot, our community officer from the OPP, will be coming to discuss the legal ramifications of bullying on Tuesday morning. The students have been engaged in many activities related to bullying, because last week was bullying awareness week.
Wednesday-immunizations were to happen last week, for whatever reason they did not, so I have heard they are happening this Wednesday, but I am not completely sure. (Sorry-usually I am in the know)
Poinsettia order forms went home last week. Those are due this Wednesday as well.
Friday-paragraph of the week and problem of the week are due.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
-gym clothes are required and students should be changing
-Groove forms are due by Monday morning-we have the Groove dance group coming on Monday which we participate in from 12-1
-Dec. 1 is a GBCS full school open house-more information to follow, but many exciting things will be happening that night
-the dance extravaganza is in the works-dates will be posted soon
Thanks again to everyone who was able to make it out for parent-teacher-student interviews. If you still want to meet or chat whether face-to-face or on the phone let me know and we can set a convenient time.
