Wow, another whirlwind day at Winona!
Today, students handed-in their "Histoire, Chapitre 8" assignments. It seems that more than a few will be handed-in late...
Monsieur Wanie assigned "Histoire, Chapitre 9". The chapter talks about one of Canada's most important periods of growth, from 1867 through 1920. There was a class discussion on some of the questions and students got right down to business.
Tomorrow is sure to be a fun day. The Junior Achievement people will be in to present to students and lead them through activities all day! Several different teachers will be in to supervise in the morning and Ms Anastasiadis will be in during the afternoon... Hopefully, students will be at their most well behaved!

Mercredi, le soleil et ensuite le gris et le vent.
Was today a busy day or what!?
Students finished off their "post-war" peer evaluation assignment and were tasked with a new build-up in order to incorporate them into the classroom railroad. The new build-up is due on Monday, April 2nd.
Classes had their grad photos taken and had a bit of time to work on both "Histoire" and read their French reading books.

Mardi, il fait beau et froid!
Today, Monsieur Wanie gave a short lecture on "Histoire, Chapitre 8" about homesteaders in the West during the period between 1896 and 1914. Students began working on the questions that are due on Thursday! To get a great mark, students should include information from Monsieur Wanie's lecture, the chapter and student's own reflections in the unit assignment.
In the afternoon, students worked on a peer evaluation of the "Post-war house" assignments...

Jeudi, le gris et la pluie.
Today, students had a variety of things to work on.
Students read their French independent reading books, continued working on their "Geographie" assignment due tomorrow and worked for a bit on the post-war house project.
A few students helped Monsieur Wanie plant the trees students had made on the railroad. Hopefully, the week after the break, students will be able to begin making more trees and get into the next "Geo" assignment as it relates to the railroad!

Mercredi, le beau temps est de retour!
Today, 86 and 87 only had two homeroom periods.
Students worked on their "Geographie" assignment for the first period. Several students went down to work in room 17, while others came to ask questions in class and work quietly.
In the second period, students worked on their post-war house art assignment. Students were shading-in the windows and drawing-in the foundations and tabs...

Mardi, un peu de soleil!
It must be a full moon...
Today, classes worked, somewhat noisily, on their "Geographie" assignments that are due on Friday. Most students have some great work completed so far!
In the afternoon, students began another art assignment, building post-war era houses from a paper template. It's a pretty complex assignment, with small details and lots of careful colouring and glueing...

Lundi, le dernier froid?
This morning, 87 was assigned their new "Histoire" chapter.
As well, students in both 86 and 87 handed-in their "Tex and Tammy" assignment and the class went over them to check that everyone had the correct answers. 86 had their work done neatly and correctly for the most part. 87 needs to work much harder to get their assignments done to perfection and on time!
Later in the day, classes had an opportunity to work on the "Histoire" assignment due on the 19th of March as well as on the "Geographie" assignment due on Friday.
Monsieur Wanie assigned the latest "Tex and Tammy" grammar work to be written out in full sentences for Friday, March 9th:

Vendredi gris.
So, today, the tour band was away in the morning at Kiwanis, I heard they might have won, awaiting confirmation.
Both classes had an opportunity to make some trees for the classroom railroad. Only or 3 HUNDRED more to make! Students did well and 86 managed to keep the mess to a minimum, even cleaning up the bathroom or 87's mess this morning...
Don't forget to choose your developing country:

Jeudi, un peu de neige mouillee.
Today, Monsieur Wanie went over the "Geographie" assignments with students and had some more discussion about the elements involved. Students spent some time brainstorming, working in groups and using their keyword notes to write down their thoughts in preparation for building answers to the questions. The due-date is Friday the 9th of March.
Students also spent some time reading their French novels...
Note: the due-date for the "Tex and Tammy" grammar from the University of Texas is Monday the 5th of March.
