Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!
We had a great morning of learning in Room 208.

In Math we started by working in our table groups to solve a word problem involving factors.
Please ask me how my group came up with seating plan options for Mme Chalifour and what the ideal seating arrangements would be!
Also in Math, we filled out a 100 chart using different symbols to indicate multiples of 2,3,5 and 7. Any numbers with a symbol were identified as Composite Numbers (les nombres composes) - numbers having 3 or more factors. All "left over" numbers (numbers without symbols) were identified as Prime Numbers (les nombres premiers) - numbers having only 2 factors: 1 and itself.
And then there is Number 1. Prime? Composite? Please ask me to find out! :)

In Français, we started with Mme Careen reading us the story, "Qu'est-ce que la paix?" The pictures in this book are absolutely beautiful and we noticed that there is a dove on every page.

We will be reading different peace-themed picture books over the next couple of days in honour of Remembrance Day, but also in preparation for our next writing task in Français.
After reading together, we continued our work on our "Suresh" article and listened to the remaining CFOO presentations before calling it a morning. Phew!

We are busy every day, getting ready to finish Term 1 with our very best work!
Bravo à tous!
