Today we headed over to SSS to watch a theatrical performance on cyber bullying. It was fantastic!!! Thank you to all those that braved the snow and made it to school today. I also handed back the Adding and Subracting Fraction Quiz, which we will discuss next day.

Students worked on the cell notes for Science during this block.
Make sure that you come in for Wednesday Math Club if you need help with fractions or integers. Students wrote a quiz on adding and subtracting mixed fractions. We also discussed the pros and cons when using the improper fraction method vs the mixed fraction method. Watch out for the hiccup when using the mixed fraction method. Are you all caught up on your work? All work needs to be handed in by Friday to make it onto the first term report card. Anything handed in after that will count for marks, but you won't see it on the report card coming out the beginning of December.
HW = make sure that you are caught up on all assigned work and if you need extra help with fractions, see Mrs. Arcuri. Students continued working on practicing adding and subtracting negative fractions - Adding and Subtracting Rational Numbers worksheet, part A only.
