After much consideration, I have decided to electronically send out the homework each week. I have been photocopying a package for each student every week, but I have only 8 students who consistently complete their homework. I find that it is a lot of wasted paper.
If you would prefer a hard copy please let me know and I can always print one for you if you can't print it at home. If you don't print it that's ok too. You can just complete on your own paper and hand that in to me on Fridays.
The problem of the week is on the left hand side of the website and the writing prompt for the week is at the bottom of this message. We have been working for the better part of term 1 on writing good solid paragraphs and we are now getting into writing multiple paragraphs and using linking words to tie paragraphs together. If you could please work on multiple paragraphs with the writing prompt that would be most helpful. Please check out the writing rating scale on the webpage as wel, which outlines the expectations in grade 7 writing.
Hope everyone had a great holiday and here's hoping the snow days are all behind us.
