Hi Students,
This will be the last post for 2013!
I have handed out your homework packages for the Christmas Break, which will be your homework from now until school starts back up on January 6th...
The package consists of 5 parts:
1. Reading logs - you must read for at least 20 minutes, 5 times per week, for a total of 10 reading log entries over the break
2. Language Arts worksheets - there are 5 worksheets to help you sharpen your skills, and reinforce some of the topics we have covered in Language Arts so far
3. Math word problems - this is a set of 22 questions...none of the concepts are brand new to you, many of them build off of what you have learned in grade 6 to help you prepare for the FSA test
4. Mad Minute times tables practice - these are a set of times table practice sheets. I would like you to time yourself as you complete them, and record how long it took you to answer all 100 questions...no calculators for this one! Have a parent or an older brother/sister mark it for you so you know which ones you are having trouble with. If the sheets are taking you more than 5 minutes, make flash cards to help yourself practice, or write out your times tables up to 12 for practice.
5. FSA Prep - this is a set of math and language arts questions from an old FSA test to help you see exactly what the test will be like and to get you to practice following FSA instructions.
All of these assignments need to be completed. If you are unsure of how to complete a question or assignment phone a friend, Google it, ask a family member, or simply try to complete it the way you think you should. It is ok to try your best and make a mistake, but it is not ok to give up.
****REMINDERS****
Tomorrow is our gingerbread house decorating competition and class party! Remember to bring $4, some candies for the house, and any snacks you would like to bring to the party.
Have a very happy break, and a very Merry Christmas!!!

Multiplication Contest!!
Great job on the Art Contest today! It's going to be very tough for the teachers to pick a winner.
Now it's time to gear up for our next contest, which will be a Multiplication Contest. Grade 7 students will be expected to know their multiplication tables from 1 to 12.
Start practicing now - I would suggest making charts or flashcards to study, quizzing yourself and your peers, and asking parents and siblings to quiz you. We will have at least one practice round in class so you get a feel for what the contest is going to be like.

Hello Students (and parents too)!
Here is a space for us to post class announcements, homework, reminders, etc. You do not need to have an e-mail address to check the site, but you do need to provide an e-mail ID to comment on a post. You'll also notice that there are some important links down the left side of the blog like the G.A.D. website and calendar, Prezi, and Go Go News. There is also a scrolling news feed on the bottom from various news websites in case you find an interesting current event there.
I will post our homework on here every day to that you and your parents can see what you have been assigned. This way I can write short reminders on the board every day and add details here.
