This is the last week for the Winona pool this year, and still, Monsieur Wanie had to remind several students that their participation in the Arowhon trip was dependent on their willingness to participate in all scheduled school activities!
In class, students worked on their "Ma Revue de 8e Annee" magazine projects and "French folders". It's getting down to crunch time! All of these assignments need to be handed-in on time.
Students, note :
1. All due-dates from now until the end of the year are firm due-dates!
2. Early morning presentations or assisntance in Monsieur Wanie's room
are "by appointment only" from now until the end of June.

Lundi, le beau temps est de retour!
Hey, what happened to Friday's post? Hmmm. Not sure...
Anyway, it's Monday, the start to another week of work! A few students came in early again to present their oral presentations...
Today, students in 86 and 87 focused on their magazine assignments and French folders.
Monsieur Wanie clarified a few details of the "Ma Revue de 8e Annee" project when 86 lobbied to have the page number requirement lowered to a maximum of 10 pages double-sided... so 20 sides, 6 sides of which are already taken up by the title page, and the five other required pages... Once again, this is a reminder that the firm due-date for this project is this Friday, June 3rd!

Jeudi, le retour de la pluie.
So today, 87 worked on their "Revue de 8e Annee" projects first thing in the morning and then their French folders just before lunch...
In the afternoon, 86 had the opportunity to work on their French folders.
Day 3 is one of those days that Monsieur Wanie only gets to see his homeroom kids for three periods, so not too much to report!
Students note: the "Revue de 8e Annee" assignment is due a week tomorrow!
As well, students should note that if they have failed to hand overdue assignments or do presentations, they should come in before 8:30!

Mardi, une tempete possible?
Back from the long weekend! Hopefully everyone had fun, stayed safe and enjoyed the weather.
Today was presentation-day for students in 86 and 87. Students gave their speeches on their place of historic significance. Most students did really well and have reason to be proud!
As well, Monsieur Wanie had students in 86 go over their file folders once again to make sure all assignments are completed...
Who knew they had streetcars on Dupont at one time?

Jeudi, la brume, et le debut de la longue fin de semaine.
Well, it's been a rainy week! Everyone is getting a little stir-crazy!
Students today were treated to the watching of the second in the "Indiana Jones" series... "The Temple of Doom", in French "Le Temple Maudit"...
Hopefully, all students will have their "Histoire" presentations ready for the firm due-date on Tuesday, and that everyone has started working on their "Revue de 8e annee"!
Dupont and Christie... someone missed the turn!

Mercredi, toujours de la pluie!
This morning, a few students came in early to discuss their "interim marks" with Monsieur Wanie. Several students were asked to get their mark sheets signed and brought back to school. For others, phone calls and meetings were made or arranged.
As well, there was the UofT survey handout to get signed for people who were willing to participate.
Monsieur Wanie also introduced the "Ma Revue de 8e Annee" project, a magazine assignment that counts towards both French and Art marks...
In the afternoon, classes were collapsed for the rehearsal of this evening's concert.

Mardi, gris.
Well, today a few students came in early to hand-in some "Histoire" assignments that are overdue...
During the day, classes worked on their overdue assignments, many students went to the computer lab to research their "Histoire" projects. Students worked on the outline for their "Histoire, projet orale" and Monsieur Wanie gave students a "heads-up" on what their report card marks may look like a month and a half from now. PS Any students who had preliminary marks below 60% must have their outline sheets signed.
St Clair and Dufferin, way back!

Lundi, une fin de semaine de pluie.
Today was pretty frustrating for Monsieur Wanie. Three quarters of both 86 and 87 failed to hand-in their "Histoire, Prise 2", the final chapter of "Histoire" for the year... Geez kids, you've had tons of time and help on this chapter! Get it done! And what about the missing assignments in your file/folder?

Vendredi, c'est la fin de la semaine!
Today, class 86 had some time on the computers in the library to research their "Projet d'Histoire", many students finished choosing their subjects and printed out information or sent pertinent links to themselves...
87 had a single homeroom period to work on their "Histoire, Prise 2".

Mercredi, le soleil et le vent!
Well, another busy day!
A couple students were in early to present their "Projet Oral".
During the day, students were working away on their "Histoire, Prise 2". Several students are still working on the overdue "Histoire, Chapitre 12". And many have yet to choose the subject of their "Projet d'Histoire".

Mardi, re-soleil.
So today, once again, students had an opportunity to work on assignments that desperately need to be handed-in. Monsieur Wanie has made much progress towards compiling marks for the year-end reports...
Students were to have selected their "Projet d'Histoire" subject by now, although there are still a few weeks before that due-date.
And a reminder that "Histoire, Prise 2" is due on Monday, 16th May.
Dufferin and Davenport looks pretty different back then!

Lundi, une bonne semaine de soleil prevu...
So... this morning was the presentation-date for the "Projet oral". Today, many students did very well, with decent presentations and beautiful posters! Surprisingly, several students declined or refused to present their assignments and received a zero... not cool.
As well, today was the due-date for "Histoire, Chapitre 12". Students handed-in their work by placing it into their files in the sitckered filing cabinet.
Anyone going here next year?

Vendredi, le soleil, la pluie, le soleil?
Today, due to Monsieur Wanie's absence, Abelio took the class and followed the day plan left behind. Students were encouraged to work on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" as well as "Histoire, Prise 2". Some students chose to work on their presentations due on Monday as well as finishing up on missing assignments for the files.
What's missing to the right of this picture?

Mercredi, du vent pour faire disparaitre la pluie!
Today, students in 86 and 87 had two periods each to work on the "Histoire, Chapitre 12".
Monsieur Wanie also discussed yesterday's assembly with students to highlight some of the issues students and teachers face in a world where people seem so focused on themselves...
The report card program has "gone live" so students should be aware that teachers are already starting to compile marks for the end of the year! Graduation is not too far off, taking into account that there's a week off for music camp, a week off for Arowhon and the last week after grad were few grade 8s show up!

Mardi, re-pluie.
Today, 86 had their "Projet Oral" check. As well during the day, both 86 and 87 checked through their files and updated their table of contents. Students in both classes also worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12".
Two students from 81 worked all lunch hour to wash the class desks down, a few students in 87 had to finish up after lunch.
For students working on "Histoire, Chapitre 11", here's some additional information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Act
