Jeudi, encore de la neige mouillee.

Well, Monsieur Wanie is back from his day of appointments! Much more fun to be working with students than driving all over the city in nasty weather!

Anyway, today students began their French reading unit. Each student chose a book from Monsieur Wanie's "library" in preparation for a "Conte rendu" project.

In the afternoon, students worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 9" assignments...

Lundi, un peu gris. Le calme avant la tempete.

Today, students presented their "Geographie" levels of industry projects.

Students did very well and presented some very informative and sometimes humourous projects!

Mercredi, le soleil et le froid.

Another busy day for 86 and 87. Students worked on their assignments, planning an outline for their presentation and spending some time assembling all their information. Bonus marks will be awarded to students choosing to present tomorrow!

Mercredi, le froid et le vent.

Today, students worked on their "Geographie" presentation due on Monday. Most students did a fair amount of research ahead of time and have some made some great choices regarding subjects.

Here's some information on Triton Logging Inc. Monsieur Wanie was explaining what they do in class today... http://www.tritonlogging.com/

Samedi, la neige.

In case you needed further clarification on Monsieur Wanie's explanation of "Parasailing", her you go:

Mercredi, un peu de soleil!

Today, students worked on their independent "Geographie" presentations. These presentations are due on Friday, February 22nd. This is a firm due-date. Warning: any student not ready to present when asked may be assigned a mark they are sure to be unhappy-with!

Before there was Petro Canada, there was Supertest Petroleum.

Lundi, la pluie apres la tempete de neige!

Today, Monsieur Wanie gave out the outline for the "Geographie, Chapitre 9" assignment. It's an oral project/presentation on a Canadian company (of choice) at one of the levels of industry.

Take the J.R. Booth logging company for instance. It began operations in the late 1800s in the Ottawa valley...

Une tempete de neige!

A snowy day today but everyone is working away!

Students, do not forget that your "Histoire, Chapitre 8" is due on Monday.

"Une terre d'accueil pour tous, entre 1896 et 1914"

Pages 208-233

Questions: VTC: #1, 3, 4* ATC: #4

Ou est-ce?

Okay kids, where was
this picture taken?

Lundi gris et le vent.

Today was a pretty quiet day at Winona. Students in both 86 and 87 worked to finish their French grammar folders. As well, students worked on their "Geographie, Chapitre 8" that's due on Wednesday.

Name this historical figure. Hint: CP

Vendredi, la piscine!

So, today was 86 and 87's pool day... so Monsieur Wanie didn't get to see too much of anyone...

Students, if you get the chance, go see this movie: http://www.rockymountainexpressfilm.com/ It's playing in IMAX at the Science Centre. It's about the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway across the Rockies, and it ties in directly to your "Histoire" program!! It's showing at 2pm both Saturday and Sunday this weekend!
