Happy Thursday!
Today in Math we played a game to practice comparing and ordering integers.
The red cards represent negative numbers and the black represent positive numbers.
After each flipping over a card, we decide which one has a greater value and write it down on our game sheet. After ten rounds, we order all of the cards from smallest to largest (ordre croissant).
This is an easy game to play at home to solidify our understanding of comparing and ordering integers!

Agenda
It's I Love to Read Month! See HERE for all sorts of great I-Love-to-Read-Month Info!
1. Science Classification project - Overdue
2. Evaluation Calcul - (tomorrow)Thursday Friday
3. We have now started the research and planning part of our biography concours speeches. Students will have time in class to research, but are encouraged to do some reading about their chosen person on their own in order to maximize their work time in class. World Book and Biography.com are two great sites to use as a starting point. The five main categories of research are:
Enfance (Childhood), Obstacles, Inspiration, Actions, Impact.
Students should focus on identifying main ideas and writing the information they've gained in French; writing research points in English only to translate them into French is twice the work. The goal is not to write an entire speech in English and then rewrite it - we will be focusing on generating our research points in French so that we can plan and organize our speeches directly from the work we've already done.
