Reading: Quotes that I like about reading: Reading is dreaming with open eyes. Anonymous There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island. Walt Disney Fiction is my addiction. Cat in the Hat. A book is like a garden, carried in the pocket. Chinese proverb The more you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. Dr. Seuss Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Joseph Addison We are well on our way in our reading program. Today students completed a reading survey. Each day students will read personally chosen novels and are encouraged to select a variety of genres. They are invited to read at home each night, especially if they missed our class reading time. In class students will be sharing their reading in a variety of ways including book talks, discussions and visual representations. They will keep track of the books they read in their reading exercise books. Math: Grade 7s have just begun their unit on divisibility and finding factors of a number using the rules. Find the definitions (tell what they mean) of these terms on this link: Whole, integer, rational, natural, irrational numbers. Gr. 6s have Mrs. Farrell as their math teacher for their multiples and factors unit and should check her class site for reminders about math homework. Why not begin with some fun facts about numbers. 'what are numbers?' We have just learned from our class novel Wonder, that the main character, Auggie is anxious about going to school. POST:Comment on what worries you the most about going to school? Socials: We began our socials unit today of researching the issues that the 4 main political parties are using as their platforms. To be better informed about the key issues, take some time tonight to look at the 12 headings on this link. Tomorrow we will work in partners to deepen our understandings.

What worries me more about school is appereance issues. I know that I shouldn't worry about that but its just that... it does. Im in grade 7 I'm almost going to high school and I'm short. I don't even know what my grad dress is gonna be. My size dresses our horrible! In my lunch monitiring class of gr.3's. Almost half the class is taller than me! I even have a big growth chart of my growth. When people try to guess my grade they say 3. I'd rather be a kindergarten. This worries me more about schoolwork because I know that if I focus in school, be organized, and complete assignments I'll do good. But that's the least of my worries. I hope everyone has a good evening! See you tomorrow!

Ya, I agree. Like I mean I know the teachers say don't worry about grades and just try your best. We do try our best but half of us are doing it for our grades. Me personally, I love learning! But, I haven't faced the fact that sometimes I also do it for grades. Or I want my parents to be proud. I think we've all felt this way.

Honestly I'm worried about that too. But you just need to try you're best! It doesn't matter about what you get, it matters that you improved. For example you get a c+ in the first term then you get a b in second term. You improved your mark!

I think you'll do just great. I've felt how you feel. Being bad at english. That was me in Kindergarden. When I just moved from the Phillipines. I didn't know any eniglish at ALL. Except for hi, bye yes, no. Because I spoke tagalog. But as soon as I made friends and started listening well and learning in school. I started to get better and more fluent. And now, I can't even talk in my home language (Tagalog) Because I've learned so many english. You'll get better I promise.

What worries me most about school is social issues, most of my really good friends were in grade 7 now 8 and my few grade 6 now 7 friends are turning to popularity instead of like the friendship we had so I only have 1 friend at the moment. Before school it REALLY stressed me out but my mom helped me through it saying 1 good friend is better then like 6. Also my school work habits from last year, even though I've gotten way better so far still scary!

I am mostly worried about math because it is more challenging but so far everything sounds fine! I'm more worried about me not putting a lot of effort into projects for the future so I'm going to make sure that I give it my all or nothing. Aggggggghhhhh. I forgot my math at school.

I totally understand how you feel! I feel the same way sometimes! I mean I failed a test because I didn't ask a question but when I took a re test I almost got full marks! Don't be worried no matter what you think about your question it's better to know than to go out and wing it! :)

In school the thing that worries me the most is homework mainly because if you want to hang with friends then you have to come home to homework. The science fact to day is Plutos gravity. The gravity on Pluto is 0.62m/s because of how small it is.

What worries me the most is sort of like what 2BARUNNER said. I scared that something bad will happen because I'm short or fun sized (gymna5t). I worry because most of my friends are taller than me so I think I'll be made fun of. I also worry about putting my hand up in school because then I might be wrong or something, but I'll try to improve and be more confident. ;)

I agree. I don't like to raise my hand because I'm afraid my answer would be wrong but I'm trying to learn to take risks:) Plus being corrected doesn't hurt.

I'm worried about doing the Grouse grind again and not improving my time. Also I am worried about the work being harder and being a leader where all the kids look up to me so if I make a mistake they will notice and maybe make the same mistake thinking that its right.

I don't worry about it, but I really hate wake up early. It's big reason of why I don't want to go to my school. I worried about my English. I'm grade7, but I can't do English well, so I can't follow the class. I worry about it a lot.

I'm worried that you guys are worried about too much. I wish you would just relax more and take each day, each lesson as it comes. If you don't understand something, ask and I will help you. If you need to organize your books, take them home and do that one night a week. If you have too much homework, let me know and we'll give you more class time. No need for worries. Be yourself and you will make the right friends for you. You will learn and practice English each day so you will improve. By the way everyone is the perfect size for him or herself but most of you will grow taller when in high school.

I worry about appearance and too much fooling around. It's important about the fooling around, but the appearance is only secondary depending on who thinks it's a problem.
