LHR 7th Grade At-Home Learning
Week 2 - March 30 - April 3, 2020
Weekly Welcome Message
Welcome to Week 2 of LH Rather Junior High At-Home Learning. We are so proud of all the hard work our students are doing despite the changes to their regular routines. Hopefully we were able to answer your questions last week and make you feel a little more comfortable with how At-Home Learning works. Our teachers have really enjoyed talking to you guys by phone and seeing you during their live video meetings. Teaching isn't quite as fun when you can't spend much time with your students. We really miss you guys!
As we move into the second week, we understand that there may be new kinks from time to time and we ask that you continue to reach out to your teachers on their Google Voice numbers or during their live meetings during "office hours" so we can help iron out an issues quickly. (That information is provided at the bottom of the newsletter.)
Be sure to snap a picture of your student completing At-Home Learning activities and post it on your Facebook page using the hashtag #WarriorsAtHomeLearning. We will try to share those on the BISD Facebook page and some may even make it into the LHR Yearbook!
Remember that each week's assignments start on Monday and are due on Sunday night. Each Monday a new set of assignments will be posted. Your child should spend a couple hours each day working on completing these assignments.

You will be documenting how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting you and your family, and how your day to day life has been affected. As you know, circumstances are changing daily regarding this. Some things to consider while writing journal entries:
- What do you miss the most about being at school or when businesses and restaurants were open to the public.
- Are you enjoying at home learning, or would you rather be at school?
- When you look back on this time in the future, what is one thing that you want to remember?

7TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES
Great job last week on completing work and making the best of a new experience. I loved hearing from those that reached out with questions or just to say, "Hi". This week we will continue to work in Unit 1. You will use the sane PowerPoint from last week to help you with this week’s work. It is still posted in Google Classroom under “Home Learning Unit 1 Notes”. Once you are finished you will turn both assignments in through Google Classroom.
Assignment #1: “At Home learning WK 2 Map”
You will use the PowerPoint to help you label the original 13 colonies. The map has been numbered, so you will need to make a new document number it 1-13 and then put the name of the colony next to the number that it is on the map. Once you have finished, attach your new document in Google Classroom and hit turn in. Once you have done this it will tell you that it has been submitted.
Assignment #2: “At Home learning WK 2 Unit 1 Check In”
You will use the PowerPoint to help you answer the multiple choice questions. You will have to use what you know and the information given in the PowerPoint to pick the best answer. You can complete this in one of two ways. You can make a new document and number it 1-7 and then put the letter of the answer you select next to each number or you can highlight your answer on the original document. Just make sure you attach the document with your answers on it in Google Classroom before you submit it.
If you routinely have reading assistance on assignments, have any questions or need help, please visit me during my live video "office hours", call me at 972-755-9836 or email me at danielle.jacobs@bonhamisd.org.
7TH GRADE SCIENCE
For our second week of at home learning in 7th Grade Science, we will continue to review CELLS. our assignments will be posted in Google Classroom. There you will find links to your main assignment in StemScopes as well as other assignments that will support your learning. Your grade will primarily come from the StemScopes assignments. If you do not do well on your assignments the first time, you will have the opportunity to redo that assignment only 1 time.
If you have any questions, need any help or routinely have questions and answers read aloud to you, please join my Live Video "office hours", call me at 314-635-0949 or email me at clint.ashlock@bonhamisd.org.
