CANNED FOOD DRIVE!

We are still collecting cans next week. We still would love to have students send in any food items they can. The Kanata Food Cupboard needs more help this year than previous years. I am very proud of our class so far. Some students have sent in 10 to 16 cans at a time! Our class total so far is 77 cans! Impressive for a classroom of 25 students. If you have not yet sent in any donations and wish to, we will accept until WEDNESDAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

Here is what a Catholic High School made for their Canned Food Drive. FUN!

We Need Canned Food

Please send in any canned good and non perishable food items you can spare. The Kanata Food Cupboard is in extra need this year. We will be collecting until December 18th. THANK YOU!!

Advent Week 1: December Homework

This week's homework is studying and memorizing the 3 times table.

Students will also be bringing home their big unit test study guide for Math. We have completed a large unit of patterning and students need to spend every night reading and re-reading their guide. Test questions are based on the type in the guide.

TEST IS NEXT MONDAY!

6 times tables test

The 6 times table quiz is tomorrow! Our class needs everyone to have times tables practiced and memorized! Many Grade 7 teachers have noticed an increase in times tables not being memorized (or at least having a strategy to solve them fast) is having an impact on math skills in high school. Practice at home with FLASHCARDS or rewriting them over and over. We will continue to focus on them every week ALL YEAR LONG. This means returning to the same numbers over and over until they are recalling the families with greater speed.

Homework

One page of Word Problems is the Homework for the whole class this week, to see who remembers last week's strategies for solving trickier pattern word problems.

After finishing the problems page, work on memorizing the 6 times tables up to 6 x 11. You can use games on this site, re-writing them over and over, or making flashcards or a rap song to help. Remember: repeating is the key to move them to long term memory. The same way we know all the words to Hail Mary, The Lord's Prayer or even songs on the radio. Lots of repetition!
