Mardi, de nouveau, la pluie.

Today, students had their day of pool. Unfortunately, there are still a few students not participating in the program!

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie had a TLCP meeting, so students worked on their "Geographie" under Mr McKee's supervision.

Lundi, encore la pluie!

Today, Monsieur Wanie was absent.

Students worked in groups on their "Geographie" assignment due next Monday.

Vendredi, une belle journee et ensuite?

Today was the due-date for the latest "Histoire" assignment. Quite a few students missed the date, it was a tough unit... Hopefully their assignments will be on Monsieur Wanie's desk on Monday!

In the meantime, students began working on the new "Geographie" unit. Students all copied the assignment outline into their notebooks. It will be posted to the blog on Tuesday.

Jeudi, on dirait l'ete!

Today, students had another period to work on their "Le comte de Monte Cristo" and "Histoire" assignments.

Mercredi, gris.

So today, students began a large "Francais" unit. The first part involves reading the illustrated novel "Le compte de Monte Cristo" and answering comprehension questions. Students worked by themselves on the assignment.

As well, students had an opportunity to use the textbook to work on their "Histoire" assignments.

Mardi, trop de pluie!

So today was a rainy day. Seems neither 86 nor 87 managed to stay dry, they both had pool!

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie handed-back 87's "Geographie" assignments.

Lundi, une tres belle journee!

86 and 87 both had lots of time today to work on their "Histoire".

It's a really tough unit partly because Monsieur Wanie is only providing minimal tips on this one. Students instead are working in groups. A bit of peer group work should make it all a bit more interesting! Next unit, it's back to the usual with class discussions and all.

Re-soleil.

Wow, it's been such a busy week for Monsieur Wanie, hardly time to update the blog!

Anyway, today was the due-date for "Geographie" and the "Dessin a triple parties".

And here are the details of the latest "Histoire" assignment:

This morning, Monsieur Wanie gave the "Geo, Chapitre 3" lecture and explained the chapter questions.

Students had a period in the morning to get started on the questions.

In the afternoon, students worked on their "Dessin a triple parties".

Vendredi, le soleil et le froid!

Today was the due-date for the "Histoire, Chapitre 1".

Today was a hard-working day!

Student were busily discussing their "Histoire" chapter that's due tomorrow!

Pretty much sums the day up.

Mercredi, la mi-semaine et le temps variable.

Monsieur Wanie started off the day with a lecture/discussion on "Chapitre 1, Croissance et Changement".

During the day, both 86 and 87 had some time to work on their assignments...

As well, both classes had their "Choices for Nine" presentation in the cafeteria with Marcy.

Mardi, le retour.

So, everyone (or almost everyone) is back from the long weekend.

Today was 86 and 87's day in the pool, so Monsieur Wanie didn't get to see much of his classes. At the end of the day, Monsieur Wanie had a discussion on "Chapitre 1, Croissance et Changement" with 87.

Vendredi, la longue fin de semaine!

Today, students handed-in their "Geographie" assignments.

In addition, Monsieur Wanie lead a discussion with students about their latest "Histoire" chapter.
