Thursday, May 7th Learning Tasks

Grade 7 Reminder:

Before Spring Break some Grade 7’s participated in the chocolate almond fundraising. We need to collect the money from you, so we can pay the supplier. Over the weekend, please ensure that you have sold all your boxes of chocolates so that we can set up a day (or two) next week, to hand in your envelopes and money. Each case included an envelope that needs to have your name and division clearly labeled. Each envelope needs to have $90. Please return the money in either dollar bills or by cheque. We currently cannot count individual envelopes of $90 in coins. Thank you for this. (remember: 1 case = $90 2 cases = $180 etc….)

More information will be provided in a blog post next week.

In continuing our learning about Nurses, today you will read two different articles about Nurses.

Each ‘nurse’ has unique qualities and tasks that they can complete. You are going to compare these tasks/qualities by writing them on a Venn Diagram.

Click HERE for your lesson on creating a venn diagram and the links to your articles.
When finished, take a picture of your venn diagram and share it to your teacher. Name it Nurses and Robots _ Your Name.

Numeracy

Today you will be learning about Tree Diagrams to chart probability events.  Click HERE for your lesson. It includes a worksheet link that you can print off and further questions to complete.

When you are finished, share to your teacher and name it Math 10.5_________your name.

As this is a new concept to describe probability, if you need help remember to join Ms. Thornson today at 11:00 at her Google Meet.

Fine Arts Optional Activity: Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10th. This special day doesn’t just honour Mothers, though. It also honours all women (or men) who are special in our lives. It is a day to thank your moms, grandmas, aunts, or sisters that have always been there for you; to support you, encourage you, and give you unconditional love.

For the remainder of this week, take some time to think about your special person. Think of what they have done for you, to help make you who you are today. What can you do to make Sunday a special day for her?

Click on the link HERE to see some examples of what you can create, to make your special someone feel appreciated and loved.

This is an optional activity and does not need to be shared with your teacher (Unless you want to show us, of course!).

DPA

If possible, get outside for some fresh air! Go for a walk around the block, jump on your bike or scooter, play badminton or bounce a ball. DPA should be 60 minutes and you can split that time up into smaller sections of time. For example, 15 mins for 4 sessions. If you can't get outside, do DPA inside instead.

Literacy

Home Reading

Last week you were to share your home reading selection with your teachers.  As we continue to move forward with our learning at home, we will be including your home reading into some of the literacy assignments.

Task #1 - Your first assignment involving home reading is to print off the following reading log.  You can find it HERE. As seen in the picture below, you have two options in your daily responses; a brief summary or a reflection.  We would like to see you try each of these at some point throughout the week. Varying your responses will also help deepen your understanding of the text.

 

Summaries Include:

• Main idea of the text
• Details that are important to the main idea 
• Characters, setting, problem/conflict

Reflections Can Include:

• Connections (Text to self, text to text, text to world)
• Questions
• Inferences/Predictions
• Character reflections
• Questions for the author
• Thoughts on a theme

Each night, read for a minimum of 20 minutes. It's best to do your brief summary or reflection just after so that it is fresh in your mind.  You do not need to write more than the lines that are provided but you must fill them with the proper criteria. Have your parent sign and confirm that you are reading. Then share your reading log to your teacher on the google drive every Monday morning.

Keep your weekly reading logs in a safe place. Consider using a duotang or staple them together each week. You will need all entries for a final assignment.

Each week, name it Home Reading _ Your Name and submit to your teacher every Monday morning.


Literacy Continued:

We are going to be spending the next couple of weeks focusing on learning and reflecting about our Frontline Workers.

 

Many of you may have family members that are currently working in order to help support all of us staying at home.  Today we are going to focus our learning on the people who are working in the medical field.  Nurses, in particular, are continuing to travel from home to home, are continuing to work in care homes, or are working directly in the hospitals continuing to care for those who are sick; both with Covid -19 or with other medical issues.

Task #1 - Watch this short video HERE to hear from a Canadian nurse on the frontlines during  Covid-19's early stages.



Task #2 - Look at the image HERE.  Answer all of the questions that are included below the image in full detail. Use examples/connections from the video or your own experience to help support your responses.

Share to your teacher on your google drive and name it Nurses_Your Name.

Numeracy- Probability Continued

Today's lesson will require you to either print off the papers or make a chart at home. Be sure to read slowly and follow the directions carefully. Complete the chart and answer all additional questions by clearly number them. Many of you have not been answering all of the questions which makes your work incomplete.

When finished, share to your teacher on the google drive and name it Probability Chart _ Your Name.

Click HERE for your lesson and worksheets.



DPA - Why is DPA important? Why do we keep assigning it as a daily task? Take a look at this poster for all of the reasons why...

For all of these reasons above, get some exercise today!  If possible, get outside for some fresh air.  Go for a bike ride or a walk while maintaining social distancing. Remember that DPA should be 60 minutes and can be split up into smaller portions of time.  If you can't get outside, do DPA inside instead.  Try a new DPA link that you haven't tried before.
