Les nombres ordinaux / classwork for  Thursday April 30

To make an ordinal number in French add the suffix – ième to the cardinal number. Ordinal numbers tell the position of someone or something. Example first, second, third…

Number + ième

Example

deux► deuxième

trois ►troisième

Attention

* First does not follow the rule. It is an exception. Use the word premier (e) for first.

* The -f at neuf is drop and make way for a –v. Ninth would be neuvième.

* Numbers that ends with –e, drops the –e before adding the suffix-ième.

Art Update May 12

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing well.  This week I want to go back to drawing and try something called metamorphosis art.  For this project I want you will transform an object into another object.  The way to do this is by drawing several drawings that gradually turn one object into another.  I know sounds hard, but I think the examples below will make this assignment make sense.  There is no limit on the amount of drawings you can do, but you should have at least three.  You are free to use any medium and size paper of your choice.  I remember doing a project like this in middle school and I loved it, I hope you do too. Due Date it Tuesday May 19th.
