Week of June 8th

TO DO:

Time Capsule: Try to complete and submit your ninth entry by Sunday, June 14th please.  See the Literacy Tab for more details.   You should have 9 entries completed by the end of this week. 

    

Novel Study:    

a.       Spend 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.     We will add your entry to our master list and share it once we have them all.

Poetry: So much is happening in the world right now, and poetry can be great way to explore and express one’s feelings about it.  Your task this week is to choose a poem that speaks to you. Submit it and a reflection explaining why you chose this poem by Friday.  See the assignment for more details.

Math 7 Ravenclaw/Segers:  Financial Literary assignment.  Due Friday.

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 and complete part 2 of Financial Literacy: Adulting. Complete the collage assignment for Friday.

b.       Watch the Khan Academy videos and complete the 2 assignments, as well as the 4 pages of Jump Math on Area.  Complete by Friday.

  

P.E. & Fine Arts: TikTok is so hot right now!  I can’t go anywhere with seeing kids TikToking. Your challenge over the next 2 weeks is to either learn and share a short TikTok dance of your choice (only school appropriate songs please!), or choreograph your own and share it.  It can be shared on video or in person.  You do not have to be good!  Have fun with it!  The object of this activity is to learn a dance, not be a dancer!   

Core Competency Goals: At the end of year, every student in B.C. needs to reflect on their core competencies.  We have been doing this throughout the year, so you guys are pretty amazing at it.  You need to complete 3 sheets, one for Communication, a second for Thinking, and a third for Personal Growth.  Think about the things you are great at, and the things you still need to work on... Check out our Core Competencies Wall, Padlet, and the Core Competencies document in our Class Notebook.     

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.
