What a great first week I had with my new class of grade 7s! We spent the first day going over paper work, them making stars and filling out interest inventories, setting up personal blogs and jumping into the grade seven curriculum. The students really enjoyed setting up their own blogs and practicing with writing about what they did this summer. Each student in 7B is required to write reflective blogs each week on their learning. I am really excited to get to see their perspectives of what they are learning!
We started our ecosystems unit in Science and went out to explore the different species in the schoolyard. It was such a beautiful day to get some fresh air and take a close look at what is growing and living in our back yard.
In Language Arts we started to talk about mysteries. I am reading the class Eric Walters The Mystery of the Money Pit each morning. It is a great book written by a Canadian author. By the end of the unit students will all write an original mystery. Such suspense!!

In Social Studies we have started to look at maps and the information they can tell us.
Lastly, in Math we have started to look at divisibility rules. These rules are a quick was to know if a number is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9 or 10. This week we practiced our long division skills. Do you remember how to do long division? Try these questions.
