Welcome to 2017 in Grade 7!
Students were ready and raring to go this morning. Lots of chatter, but a lot of good things already starting in 2017.
There will be no problem of the week or paragraph of the week this week, however, if students could please start to collect any old magazines, craft supplies, etc. We are going to be working on a personal art project- "I am Board" or "Vision Board." Students started to reflect on what they want to be and about the path they hope to take in life. We are going to reflect on this some more this week and start to create an art project in line with this theme.
If students are speaking about careers and post-secondary schools, etc. this is why. We started to look at high-school credits needed for certain post-secondary education programs and what programs are offered at which schools. Students were genuinely intrigued and excited.
I would also like to revamp the classroom library. I am coming from more of a junior background, so some of my books are not suited for an intermediate classroom. We are using the school library quite a bit, but if you have any old books at home that you would like to pass on that are suited for grade 7 students, please feel free to send them our way. They would be well loved and taken care of!
Elective forms are due ASAP. If you can not send money yet, please do send back the completed forms. We need all of that information to send to Blue Mountain.
Tomorrow is the last day for Pita Pit orders for the month of January.
Hope everyone has a great week!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me through email or the remind app.
