Week of June 15th

To Do:

ime Capsule: This is the last Time Capsule entry and it’s time to wrap things up with a reflection/recap.  Make a cover page, write a letter to your future self, or just add a little context. Think about summarizing the theme or overall experience of this time so that when you, your child, or your grandchild read it in the future, they have an introduction to what Covid-19 is and why you made this time capsule.  See assignment for more details.  

     

Poetry: Now that you’ve found a poem that connects with you, it’s time to share it.  This week you need to practice reciting your poem, and film yourself performing it as spoken word.  The object of this assignment is to practice using your voice and phrasing to convey what you think are the most important messages in the poem.  Don’t just read your poem!  You can memorise it or just have it off camera for hints.   See the assignment for more details.  

First Book of the Summer: Use our class reading list, or do your own research and select the first novel to read for the summer!  Please submit your book choice by Friday, June  19th.   Once you are finished reading it, please add it to our class book list for others to refer to for their next books!  You can find it in Teams, Files.     

  

Math 7 Ravenclaw/Segers:  Colour By Number Review.  See assignment for more details.  

  

Math 7 Hufflepuff/Jekubik:  Check your Khan Academy accounts to see what's been assigned.  You have several weeks worth of material on there. You are permitted to work ahead, but you must finish the assigned tasks by their due dates. The due dates for the new assignments on KA are correct.     

    

Math 6:        

1. Please watch the attached video before Thursday's live lesson and complete Jump 6.2 p. 168-169, 170-174.  
2. Watch the 4 Khan Academy videos and complete the 1 activity on Volume.   

   

P.E. & Fine Arts: Can we share them with the class? We’d love to watch them at our class meeting next week. If you don’t want us to, please email Mrs. Soper or Ms. Kelly.      

ADDITIONAL TO DO:

TEAMS:

Take a few minutes to look through the Assignments page in Teams.  What have you got left to hand in?  Clear that list up a bit if you can.   Also, make sure to read the feedback – sometimes you need to fix something you thought was handed in.  

SCIENCE: 

Flip through this month’s “Science News”. There are lots of cool articles including one on way otters play!  Adorable!

FRENCH: You’ve listened to songs, watched a movie, what other Francophone arts can you explore?

P.E: Tennis courts, golf courses, and even disc golf courses are open!  Never played? Who cares?! Get outside and play a socially distanced game with a friend.
