In writing, students are working on a guided essay where all of the research and background information has been provided for them. Their focus is on organizing the information clearly, structuring their paragraphs properly, and putting their ideas together in a logical and cohesive way.

In French, students are creating a foldable paper house where they label each room in French and include at least five items found in that space. They will also write simple sentences explaining what happens in each room, helping them practice vocabulary, sentence structure, and everyday language in a meaningful context.​

In this lab, students are exploring how crystals form by creating a supersaturated solution and observing how dissolved particles arrange themselves into repeating patterns as the solution cools or evaporates.​

The Equations Practice Booklet allows students to choose a level and complete a set number of questions from each section, ensuring they practice a variety of equation types. Answer keys are provided at the back for self checking, and students must carefully read the instructions to determine whether to solve by inspection or by using opposite operations. If students need help - there are notes pages located on my math page. ​ This is not for homework but their test will be next week.

Classroom Notes on Crystalline Solids. Students will learn that solids can be classified as crystalline or amorphous based on how their particles are arranged. They will understand that crystalline solids have a repeating, organized lattice structure, which gives them specific properties like a sharp melting point and geometric shapes. Through hands on investigation, they will observe how crystals form and connect particle arrangement to the visible properties of materials.​

The Blueprint Project is a real world math design challenge where students create a scale drawing of their own apartment or dream living space.

Students are given specific criteria and design constraints, just like real architects. They must design a functional space that includes required rooms and features while staying within a set area and scale.

What Students Do:

• Choose a scale such as 1 cm equals 1 m
• Design a floor plan on grid paper
• Include required rooms such as bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area
• Measure and calculate area and perimeter of each space
• Label dimensions clearly
• Create a final blueprint with straight lines, symbols, and precision
• Add furniture using nets or scaled templates
• Ensure everything fits proportionally

​

What They Are Learning

This project integrates multiple Grade 7 math concepts:

• Scale and proportional reasoning
• Area and perimeter
• Measurement conversions
• Geometry
• Transformations
• Problem solving
• Precision and mathematical communication

It also strengthens executive functioning skills like organization, planning, and revising work. Students quickly realize that math is not just numbers on a worksheet. It is design, logic, and spatial reasoning in action.

The DC Powered Propeller Car Project is a hands on engineering challenge where students design, build, and test a small car powered by a direct current motor and a propeller.

Students are not just building a car. They are:

• Applying the scientific method
• Testing variables
• Collecting data
• Improving designs
• Explaining forces and energy transfer

We will have a Parts of Speech Quiz on Friday, November 21st. Students will be quizzed on their knowledge of all parts of speech. See reference handout:

​

Each year for Remembrance Day, I have students complete an activity that focuses on Canada’s involvement in world conflicts. This year, students will be exploring primary source documents written by Canadian soldiers who served in the First World War, Second World War, Korean War, or in later peacekeeping missions.

Their task will be to read soldiers’ letters and related background information in order to create a short biography about one of these individuals. Through this project, students will gain a deeper understanding of the personal experiences and sacrifices made by Canadians in times of war.

Students will be using materials from the Canadian Letters and Images Project, a digital archive created by a professor at Vancouver Island University. You are welcome to explore the collection at www.canadianletters.ca.

Here is the handout: 

We explored Orders of Operations (BEDMAS - Same as PEDMAS) with negative integers. Students are to complete a minimum of 20 questions in their booklet, they can be a combination of any of the 3 sections - mild, medium, spicy. Please remind students they have their guided notes in their notebooks to help guide them and the math page on this website, there is a explanation video. On Wednesday, this will be day 3 working on the booklet. Quiz is next Wednesday, November 19th.

Students explored the Periodic Table of Elements through an interactive research-based activity. Using a visual online periodic table, learners investigate and record key information such as element states, abundance, uses, and group characteristics (e.g., noble gases, metals, radioactive elements). Students identified patterns across the table and make real-world connections between elements and everyday materials (e.g., batteries, paint, bones, and chlorophyll).

We are wrapping up our Geography unit with an exciting Create a Country project! Students have been applying what they’ve learned about mapping, latitude, and longitude, as well as applying knowledge about landforms, climate, resources, and government to design their own original countries. This project allows them to think creatively while demonstrating their understanding of geographic concepts and how they influence daily life.
