Week of May 25th

How quickly things change!  Only one more week until some of our class starts coming to school one day a week!  We are still waiting on details about how things will work for both the kids online and in school, so we will send an email out as soon as we hear.  In the meantime, work doesn't stop!  Here are the assignments for this week:

TO DO:

Time Capsule: Try to complete and submit your seventh entry by Sunday, May 31st please.  See the Literacy Tab for more details.   You should have 7 entries completed by the end of this week. 

    

Novel Study:    

a.       This is the last week we will be talking about your novel.  We can’t wait to hear your final thoughts! 

b.        This week you will be completing your 3rd assignment.  You need to choose a question from a different section.  Be insightful, creative, and try to wow us!   

c.       Just a reminder, if you have a cool way of presenting your assignment, or a better idea for a question, talk to Ms. Kelly or Mrs. Soper and do it!  The goal is to show us how deeply you understand, appreciate, and connect to the various aspects of the story.    

     

Math 7 Ravenclaw/Segers:  Probability Game Assignment due May 27th. 

   

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 Wednesday's live lesson.  The assignment this week includes 5 Jump math pages and a game sheet.  Please complete the Jump pages and upload them all to your assignment for assessment.  Print off the game page and practice by playing!

b.       Watch the 6 Khan Academy videos and complete the 3 assignments on Converting Decimals & Fractions to Percentages by Friday, May 29th. Make sure you click the “Turn-In” button in Teams Assignments when you are done.  

c.       Math Quiz!  Assigned and complete on Monday.  Check the Assignment in Teams.

  

French: Explore Francophone music!  Choose a French-speaking song and tell us all about it.  Think about why you like it, what it means, and what it tells you about Francophone culture or French speaking countries.  See Assignment for more details.

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 will 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.

Gr. 7 Service & Participation Survey: Please complete the Form in Teams by Monday.

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.
