Students brought in more food items! Thanks everyone, we are up to 62 items of food, and almost 10m of duct tape! Ahhh, I'd be lying if I wasn't a little scared to be taped to a wall, but it's for a good cause!
We did a math lesson on the SMART board on converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice-versa, and students are now working in partners on adding and subtracting practice.
Here is the link to the lesson: Improper fractions/Mixed Numbers lesson and practice:

During literacy, students worked on their narratives, letters to their Kindergarten friends, and on their reading responses.
Grade 7's went through some of a slideshow and watched some videos for history, and Grade 8's watched a video about the events leading up to confederation, we will continue through those lessons until the break.
The principal for Twin Lakes Secondary School came to speak to the grade 8's who live in the TLSS zone and will be attending TLSS next year unless they have been approved for out of area. The principal for Orillia Secondary School will be speaking to the grade 8's who live in the OSS zone next week.
We had music today and students were practicing their song of choice on the Glockenspiel for tomorrow's playing test. Don't forget, there is a written component as well. Check back later this evening for some hints for the written test.
Tomorrow is the last day for the food drive. Please bring in at least 1 non-perishable food item.
Tomorrow we will be decorating our door, and mailing our letters to the Kindergartens. We will also be watching the movie "The Giver", as we read the novel earlier.
Here are some pictures of students practicing the Glockenspiel:
