Mercredi, ou est la pluie prevue?

As well, both classes worked on their "Geographie" assignments...

Mardi, un peu de pluie cette semaine!

So, back from a beautiful long weekend!

Now back to work. 86 had their last "Geographie" unit assigned. Details are a few pages back in the blog.

87 began working on a "for fun" "Geographie" unit.

As well, students have spent a lot of time reading and re-reading the French novel "La nuit mouvementee de Rachel". Hopefully students will do well on the test coming up!

Mercredi, la mi-semaine.

Monsieur Wanie's day started with a frustrating fight with the old class computer and digital projector. Gee, they couldn't make these things any more difficult to operate, could they?

Anyway, both 86 and 87 had time to work on their "La nuit mouvementee de Rachel" novels as well as their "Geographie" units.

86 had some time to present their Independent studies, despite Monsieur Wanie's computer problems...

Tomorrow is pool in the morning. Monsieur Wanie will be at Forrest Hill CI attending a meeting but will be back in the afternoon.

Lundi, un peu de vent mais du soleil.

Students in 86 worked on their independent studies, students in 87 handed-in their "Geographie" and continued working on their "Histoire"...
