Week of June 1st

Here we are in the next phase!  About 1/2 the class is joining us in the school on Wednesday.  Online education will be continuing for all with some small scheduling changes.  Monday's class meeting will be at 10am and everyone must attend whether they are coming to school or staying at home.  Math lessons for all classes have been moved to Thursdays at 11.  All students in Mrs. Segers and Mrs. Soper's math classes must attend, and Ms. Jekubik will have her optional help period at the same time. 


TO DO:
Time Capsule: Try to complete and submit your eighth entry by Sunday, June 7th please.  See the Literacy Tab for more details.   You should have 8 entries completed by the end of this week. 
    
Novel Study:    
a.       This week you will be completing your 4th and final assignment.  Choose a question from a section you haven’t done yet.  Be insightful, creative, and try to wow us!   
b.       Send a few minutes this week adding your book to our Summer Reading List.  Follow the format on the sheet, and add your book to the list.  If you didn’t like it, tell us why so we can avoid it in the future. This is a shared document, so don’t touch anyone else’s work.    

Gr. 7 Speech: Part of the Stepping Up ceremony every year includes a speech from members of the Stepping Up class.  Each year, every Gr. 7 student writes a speech, and some step forward for consideration to read their speech at the ceremony.  This year, the teachers in each class will narrow the speeches put forth for consideration down to a few, and then share them anonymously.  You will get a chance to vote for your favourites.  The favourite speech from each division will be combined and shared by the authors at Stepping Up.  Even if you don’t want to be that person, here is your chance to share at least with your teachers your favourite memories of Wolfe.  The speech is due on Wednesday, June 3th. Voting will take place the following Monday. See assignment for more details.

Gr. 6 Warning Letter: Write a letter to warn next year's class about your teachers!  What drives them crazy?  What does they love? What can you do to get in their "good books"?  What are their expectations and/or classroom routines?  What other important things do you think next year's class needs to know about them? Be creative, but be sure you follow the proper letter writing format.  See the assignment for more details.

Math 7 Ravenclaw/Segers:  Ch. 5 Chapter Review in preparation for the “in-class” quiz on Thursday. Due June 4th.  
   
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:       
a.       Please watch the attached video before Thursday's live lesson.  The assignment this week includes 4 Jump math pages.  Please complete the Jump pages and upload them all to your assignment for assessment. 
b.       Financial Literacy Package: Use your knowledge of decimals and percentages to practical use!  There are 2 Khan Academy videos to watch before you start.
  
PE:  Spend some time reflecting about how you are taking care of yourself.  How have exercise, food, and sleep changes during this time changed the way you feel?  Have you noticed things that make you feel great?  What are the things that don’t?  How do you avoid them?  See the assignment for more details.   

Gr. 7 Stepping Up Questionnaire: Ms. Kelly has been cooking up something amazing for Stepping Up.  Your assignment this week is to answer some questions reflecting on your time at General Wolfe and then create a Power Point page to represent those reflections.  Much like the gratitude slide show, design a page that represents your thoughts and personality.  You can include photos, images and words.  Be creative!  See assignment for more details.  Due June 3rd.

Gr. 7 Song: While we are unable to compose and create an original song this year due to social distancing, Mr. Mathewson has an amazing idea!  He has created an assignment where each grade 7 student 1will record a line of a song, and he will put it all together into one.  It’s going to be amazing.  See Assignment for more details.  Due June 5th.

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

FRENCH: Did you enjoy the French song you chose for last week’s assignment?  This week, try a movie!  Search for a Francophone film, but turn on your English subtitles.  Try “A Monster in Paris” or “The Painting”. I haven’t seen them yet, but I read that they are amazing!

Other:     
Please email cmathewson@vsb.bc.ca by Friday with photos if you want to be included in his slide show sharing learning at home.    
   
Check out the Library Newsletter from Ms. Cameron.  It’s in the Teams: Files>Library News.  Email her at  wcameron@vsb.bc.ca with book suggestions for her newsletter next week.
