Lundi, la pluie arrive...

Today was the due-date for the "Histoire, Chapitre 12". Most students handed them in, however others had varied creative excuses...

Monsieur Wanie decided that today (being a grey day out) would be a good day to put on the "Tintin" movie. Students are reading the albums in class and working on the comprehension questions in groups of two so it seems appropriate!

Note: Change to the art assignment due-date - Monday the 7th of May.

Vendredi, le vent arrache le drapeau!

Today, students were really rowdy today, no idea why. It just seemed like the whole day was spent at full volume! Very frustrating. Adding to that frustration was the fact that Monsieur Wanie spent a good deal of time today fighting with his computer in order to fill out the "543A-Student Support Forms"...

Anyway, in student news: both classes "worked" on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" and "Tintin" assignments. (Quotation marks were used on the word "working" because students didn't really work as well as they could have!)

Jeudi, il fait frais mais beau dehors.

So, today students worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" and "Tintin" assignments.

Monsieur Wanie conducted meetings with every student to discuss the highs (of which there were many) and lows (of which there were few) of their "Projet de livre". Students did some excellent work, showing their effort and imagination.

As well, Monsieur Wanie assigned the "At home art project", due Friday, May 4th.

Mercredi, le retour du soleil.

Well today, students worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" during their first period. One class had an opportunity to work on the "Tintin" albums and questions and both classes had an opportunity to research their artists for the lastest art assignment in the computer lab...

Mardi re-pluie.

86 and 87 had three periods of homeroom today. Grad photo re-takes were this morning too.

Students worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" for the first period.

During the second period students worked on their "Tintin" questions and answers.

And in the third period, students worked on their second "Tintin" album reading period.

Lundi, la pluie en fin de journee.

Today was the due-date for the "Histoire, Chapitre 11", so students put their assignments in their files in the stickered filing cabinet.

Monsieur Wanie assigned "Histoire, Chapitre 12" (the second-last chapter, yay!).

And students in both classes began working on their "Tintin", French reading questions.

Vendredi, des traveaux a rendre!

So, the "Projet de livre" was due today! There are quite a few really cool projects in the pile to be marked!

Both classes began working in groups on the Tintin book assignment. Students will read all the albums and answer questions on each in teams of two. Later on, Monsieur Wanie has acquired the newly released Tintin movie for students to watch.

Jeudi, beaucoup de travail.

Today, students had a few periods to work on their book project and their latest "Histoire" chapter.

Monsieur Wanie came around to do a progress check of the book project. Most students have made a good start but given the due-date is tomorrow, there's still some worry!

Mercredi, le beau temps en mi-semaine.

87 only had one period with Monsieur Wanie this morning, so there was only a small window of opportunity for students to get their "Projet de livre" sentences corrected.

Field trip for 86 in the afternoon! Students went with Monsieur Wanie to Rosedale Heights to see the musical, Oklahoma.

Mardi, le soleil et le vent.

Today, students were given the details on the questions on "Histoire, Chapitre 11".

Monsieur Wanie helped students edit their French novel stories.

During the day, students worked away on both assignments...

Note: Students, the book assignment is due this Friday!!! And the "Histoire" chapter is due on Monday.

Note 2: New art project gets assigned on Thursday. Look up the artists from the list you copied into your agendas!!

Note 3: Tomorrow, 86 goes to Rosedale Heights for the afternoon!

Lundi, temps variable...

Today was a tremendously busy day. Students had their "Histoire, Chapitre 10" to hand in and were assigned the new chapter. (see below)

As well, students had their book sentences corrected and continued working on them.

Monsieur Wanie collected 86's permission forms for Wednesday's trip.

Jeudi, le soleil. Rien de neuf...

Aujourd’hui, les élèves ont travaillé dans leurs textes d’histoire. Tout le monde prépare leur « Chapitre 10 » à rendre lundi.

Ēgalement, les étudiants qui n'avaient pas présenté leur projets orale hier, l'ont fait ce matin.


Ensuite, les élèves ont travaillé avec leurs « projet de livre » à rendre le 20 avril. Les phrases sont à faire vérifier lundi !

Mercredi, deja la mi-semaine!

So yesterday afternoon was a bit of a write-off presentation-wise. Students worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 10" while Monsieur Wanie attended a meeting about TLCP stuff...

Today, the last few presentations in 87 were given... and 86 began doing theirs given they missed the opportunity yesterday. There were some really great oral reports, many students chose to do theirs entirely in French and earn the bonus points!

As well, students cut out little pink t-shirts, wrote short slogans on them and affixed them to their lockers in support of anti-bullying day.

Mardi commence au plein soleil.

Hopefully everyone had a great long weekend and didn't eat too much Easter chocolate or Passover sweets!

Back to business in class... students started presenting their "Projet de pays en development". There were many excellent projects presented!

Jeudi avant la longue fin de semaine!

Wow, today was another busy one! Students handed-in their latest "Histoire" assignment, "Chapitre 9, Une ere de changement" and updated the table of contents in their files.

As well, "Histoire, Chapitre 10" was assigned as below:
<< La masse ouvriere entre 1867 et 1920 >>

As well, the latest French/Art assignment was described and discussed.

And finally, the art assignment challenge was handed-out.

Mercredi encore un belle journee au boulot!

Today, most students had their forms and cash handed-in for the baseball game in May. Some students need to research the word "deadline". Get your stuff in on time!!!

As well today, Monsieur Wanie handed-back "Histoire, Chapitre 8", students put it into their folders and updated their table of contents. Next week we all look at the folders and students will be meeting with Monsieur Wanie individually to talk about their progress this term thus far.

Students were also given their "Yearbook grad comment" forms. Hopefully they all get filled out and handed-in to Ms Romberg, ASAP.

Later in the day, 87 had an opportunity to read their French novels. Hopefully everyone (in 86 too!) has finished theirs and is ready to do the book report next week.

Mardi, encore le beau soleil!

Today, a few students came in early to show Monsieur Wanie their "Post-war house false-front" assignments and research on their "Projet de pays en development"...

During the day, students worked at their "Histoire, Chapitre 9" assignment. Most students worked really well and are producing some great work!

Just looking at the row of house assignments along the front board, they look great! Monsieur Wanie went through all the assignment grades, the first, the peer, the self and the final and most students showcased some very original ideas and a marked improvement from the first to the final. Good job kids!

Lundi, le soleil et le froid...

Well, today, Monsieur Wanie only saw his classes for two periods each... It made for a short day.

That said, today was the due-date for the "Post-war, false front house". In 86, only eleven house assignments were handed-in. Monsieur Wanie listened to way too many lame excuses! Students, you need to get them in before 8:30 tomorrow morning or you will receive a grade lower than the one you'd like! Only sixteen assignments were handed-in in 87 but among them was Najat's... A pretty cool house, clearly a lot of work put into it! Check it out below!
