HEA 7: You will be working on your pair assignments related to decision-making. The questions will be ready to go next class, and finished work can be handed in when it is NEAT AND COMPLETE. Your 2 answers should be about one written page in length.

Health 7 Homework
There is homework for Grade 7 Health this week. We looked at how to make decisions (a six step list) and set goals (another six step list). Use these steps to complete the practice questions 1 and 2 from your notes. Just so we're clear, the questions are:
1. Go through the steps to decide whether you can miss a week of school to visit a friend in Paris. We’ll discuss the responses.
2. Your goal is to become a starter on the Junior basketball team. Go through the Goal Setting 6 step process, and we’ll discuss the responses.
(** You will probably only get to step 4 in both these cases since they are hypothetical - just for practice)

Back to School
Sorry to say it, but it is that time of year again. Hopefully we all had a relaxing and interesting summer, because learning is afoot.
I'll be teaching students in Grades 6 (only 6b, but I'll come visit you 6a's) and all grade 7's this year. I hope we can have a good year with lots of activity, learning and fun. I'll do my best to hold up my end of the bargain.
August 30th is the first day, and a Monday, so we'll see you then. Get ready for a flurry of activity on the first day - it is always hectic!

May 20
There was a small addition to the Copp family on May 13th - young Duncan. Thanks to everyone who has shared their congratulations (although, to be fair, my role was a lot easier than my wife's) and good wishes.
We are into the home stretch of the school year - 20 days left for Senior students and 25 for Juniors. That being the case, any students with assignments not turned in are getting closer to the cut-off date for accepting work. Get your work done now, or risk taking a zero on it.
ELA20: We will be doing our novel study for the next 4 weeks. Quizzes on content and vocabulary will be every Monday (or first school day of the week) until we are through. Keep up on your reading, participate with your groups, and get the questions, vocabulary and journal responses (1 per chapter) done. Keep in mind the themes from the novel will help you choose a research essay topic, so keep track of page numbers as you go, and think of a theme that you would like to write about.
HEA7: We are wrapping up our unit on Diet and Exercise, so we'll have a unit test soon. Many students have not handed in their "Healthy Eating Plan" yet. This is due and time is running short, so get done a.s.a.p.
SCI6: Our Unit Test on Energy will be next week and we'll move onto our last unit - Ecosystems.

May 6
ELA20: There are many outstanding (that means unfinished) book reviews, narrative essays, and other assignments. Do your best to get these in a.s.a.p. since more work is surely coming down the conveyor belt.
SCI6: We will continue working on our ENERGY Unit. The chart we do today will be handed in for marking.
HEA7: There are many 'Healthy Eating Plans' still to be handed in. Work on them at home, at lunch, or wherever you can because these are due!

AFL and PCAP tests
Some provincial and national tests are coming up for some of our students.
Grade 8s and 11s are writing provincial assessments (AFLs) all this week. Try to be present in ELA20 for all classes so we can get them in by the deadline.
Selected grade 8s will be writing PCAP tests next week (May 5th), so letters will be going home to parents, and we will pull these students from classes for one morning.
Do your best to reflect the quality education here at EHS.

Back After Easter Break
We're back at school after a much deserved week off. So here is the latest news:
ELA 20: Mid-Term Reports are coming out this Friday. Have all work handed in by Tuesday if you don't want your mark weighted down by a 'zero'. Note: Most work will be accepted without penalty after the due date, but zeros will remain if nothing is received.
HEA 7A: We will start a section on exercise in the Diet and Exercise unit. Keep your notes up to date for the open book test that will end this section!
SCI 6: Moon Phases and Seasons will end our Exploring Space unit, and then we'll have a test before moving on to Energy.
It is way too early to start counting down school days until summer break, but we are in the home stretch - keep your notes up to date, turn in your assignments, and the year will finish on a high note.
