Mercredi, encore du gris.

Today, Monsieur Wanie handed back the "Aventure en foret / L'avalanche" tests to the class and went over the corrections to be certain everyone understood what needs work on the next test...

As well, classes completed the census handed-down from the Board Office...

Classes had some additional time with their novels and later in the day worked on the "Geographie, chapitre 2" assignment keywords.

Mardi, presque le mousson!

So, Monsieur Wanie is back! Yay!

And with that, a few due-dates to note down!

Korthalsaltes house. Due on Friday, December 2nd.

French novel test. Friday, December 2nd.

"Geographie" keywords Ch 4, 5, 6. Due on Monday, December 5th.

Geo/French "Presentation Orale". Monday, Dec 12th.

French vocab/verb test. Friday, Dec 16th.

Later in the day, students had an opportunity to read the French novels once again. Monsieur Wanie also began going over the "Geographie" keywords with students to ensure they were fully understood...

Jeudi, il fait clair mais sans soleil...

Today, Monsieur Wanie outlined the upcoming oral presentation. It will be evaluated so that one part of the grade goes to French oral ability and the other to "Geographie".

Students took up a "Geo" assignment that apparently Monsieur Wanie needed to clarify and re-assign, on the "sectors of industry".

Monsieur Wanie will be away tomorrow and Monday so there's a day-plan for each day posted on the whiteboard for students to follow with the supply teacher...

Mercredi, apres la pluie, le soleil!

This morning, there were several students in early to finish work on their French novel tests and a few kids in early to work on their shapes...

During class, students had their second reading period to read the second of the two new French novels. Hopefully students exhibit enough focus to soak up everything they are reading!

In the afternoon, students had their tour of Oakwood Collegiate...

Mardi, un peu froid!

Before school, Monsieur Wanie's room was packed with students who were in to get extra time on their tests. Just goes to show how many students care about their studies and are interested in getting good grades! Lots of bonus marks handed-out today!

During the school day, students worked on their Korthalsaltes website shapes. The first one is due tomorrow! Some students were already working on their futuristic houses... lots of great plans out there!

As well today, students began reading their latest French novels, "En motoneige" and "Les eaux dangeureuses"...

Lundi, de retour au froid!

Students are back from their long weekend. Hopefully everyone was able to get outside to enjoy the great weather. It won't be long before winter sets in!

Anyway, today was test day for students on the "Aventure en foret" and "L'avalanche" books... It appeared as if everyone put forth their best effort!

As well today, students showed some of their "Korthalsaltes website" shapes and were assigned a new project: to make a futuristic home using the shapes and the techniques acquired on the previous art-shape assignments...

Vendredi, les entrevues!

With students taking a long weekend, Monsieur Wanie had the opportunity to meet with parents on both Thursday evening and Friday morning.

Parents, thanks so much for coming in! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and tell you how well your kids are doing at Winona! Clearly, your care and attention as parents makes kids who perform well at school, are polite and have a positive attitude towards their studies and life!

Students, you have lots of choices to make regarding high schools and many more "fun" assignments and projects coming up! Keep up the good work!

Parents: should you need to talk to Monsieur Wanie, his email is: andrew.wanie@tdsb.on.ca

Jeudi ensoleille! Mais le froid arrive!

Today, students participated in the Vaughan Road Academy presentation. Hopefully it will encourage students to choose wisely for next year and recognise how important this year is and next year will be!

In class, students had the remainder of their 3D shapes graded and began working on the unit-ending 3D shape.

Mercredi gris.

Today, Monsieur Wanie lead the assisted reading of "L'avalanche" and "Aventure en foret" with students in 86 and 87. Heads-up students, the test will be very soon!

As well, 87 had their 3D shapes graded and began the second part to the 3D unit... building more complex shapes...

Mardi, un peu de soleil!

Today, before school, Monsieur Wanie gathered a few "Geographie" assignment straglers.

During class, students had a final reading period with "L'avalanche" and "Aventure en foret".

In the afternoon, students worked on their shapes, several students brought their assignments up to be graded ahead of tomorrow's due-date.

Students, remember to have a print-out from the website below for tomorrow's class!

Good job Sierra!

Lundi, le gris et la pluie.

Today was "hand-in day" for the "Geographie" assignments! Most students had their work nicely prepared in duo tangs...

Students then worked feverishly on their 3D shapes, cutting, folding, gluing...

For Wednesday's class, students must have a printed net of a shape from the following website:
http://www.korthalsaltes.com/

Parents and guardians, please note that interviews are on Thursday afternoon/evening and Friday morning. The interview scheduling website will go "live" this afternoon! Hope to see you soon! There are many good things to say about 86 and 87 this year thus far!

Vendredi, le jour du souvenir.

Today is Remembrance Day, (Veterans Day for our friends to the south)... lest we forget. Winona has a nice, bright, new flag today... set a half-mast.

Many students were involved in the presentation so students who were in class worked on their "Geo". Great presentation, by the way!

In the afternoon, class 86 played a "letters game" and then worked on their "Geographie" and 3D art assignment...

Jeudi, un peu de gris...

So today, students worked very well. The last big push to complete the "Geographie" keywords and examples before the due-date on Monday. Some of tomorrow will be taken up by the rehearsal for and participation in the Remembrance Day assembly...

As well, some students started gluing together their shapes for the 3D art assignment.

Mercredi, la mi-semaine!

Today, students moved further towards completion of the "Examples assignment" that is due in duo tangs on Monday.

In the afternoon, students were able to start gluing some of their 3D art shapes together... all in all not a very exciting day. At least it was productive!

Mardi, un peu de pluie et de brume!

Today, students worked on their "Examples assignment". Monsieur Wanie gave a due-date of Monday, November 14th for the chapters 1 - 3 keywords and examples to be handed-in in duotang folders. This is a firm due-date.

As well, students worked on their "complex net" assignments. Some students began cutting out their shapes in preparation for gluing them together!

Students might want to check out this website... it'll come in handy next 3D unit!

Lundi, le soleil et le beau temps en Novembre!

Today, students worked carefully on their "Complex net" assignments. Hopefully, students will be able to begin building their shapes by mid-week!

As well, students worked on their "Geographie" "Examples assignment". Monsieur Wanie is looking forward to discussing the keywords of chapters 1 to 3 with students!

Chopadero's bike... neat huh?

Vendredi, Monsieur Wanie est absent aujourd'hui.

So, today, Monsieur McLeod was in for Monsieur Wanie.

Students worked on their French novels, their "Geographie" keywords and "Examples assignment" as well as their "Complex net" art assignments. A busy day!

Jeudi, un peu gris...

Today, students worked on their French novels. Hopefully, students are reading with care and attention. These novels are pretty tough reading!

As well, students continued working on their art "nets" and began the planning for their "complex net" assignment.

Mercredi, la mi-semaine ensoleillee.

This morning, Monsieur Wanie handed-back the "La nuit mouvementee de Rachel" tests and corrected them with students. Most people did quite well despite the difficulty of the test...

Students continued reading the French novels; "Aventure dans la foret" and "L'avalanche" and later worked on their "Geographie" keywords for "Chapitre 3" and "examples assignment"...

Mardi, le soleil et le professeur suppleant.

So, while Monsieur Wanie was away today, students worked on their independent reading of "L'aventure en foret" and "L'avalanche".

As well, students continued working on the "Geographie" keywords and "examples assignment".

There was a fire drill in the morning, hopefully students showed the supply teacher how it's done!
