Today, students worked on their 5 maps of  British North America and Canada.

As well, Monsieur Wanie assigned the latest "Histoire" chapter and the class had a lecture and double-period discussion on it. See details below.

And, the last "Geo" assignments were handed-back. Students had an opportunity to write their marks in their agendas, file their assignments in their folders in the stickered filing cabinet and have their 'mini-meeting' with Monsieur Wanie.

Anyone recognize this ship?

Jeudi, encore une belle journée de soleil!

Voilà que nous sommes jeudi!

Le projet / portrait était à rendre hier.

Demain, le premier projet de géographie est à rendre!

Egalement, le nouveau projet d'arts dramatique va commencer demain!

Voici un article pour votre projet de géographie qui parle de la population de Toronto en 2025 qui vient d’apparaître sur le site BlogTo.
http://www.blogto.com/city/2014/09/how_crowded_will_toronto_be_in_2025/

Egalement pour votre information, les 4 cartes sont à rendre vendredi, le 17 octobre!  

Lundi, le soleil brille... pour le moment!

En anglais aujourd'hui:

So, today was the due-date for the first "Histoire" assignment of the year. Five or six students came in early to work or ask for extensions. Most students handed-in their assignments. To the few who came to class with less-than-adequate excuses, be careful! As a reminder, if you haven't finished your assignment by the due-date, you need to come in early and discuss it with Monsieur Wanie or risk being marked down...

Students' "Il fait quoi ton Papa?" tests were handed back, students noted their grades in their agendas, and placed the tests in their files in the stickered-filing-cabinet.

As well, students had an opportunity to work on their portrait art posters and their "La peur de ma vie " french reading books.

Vendredi, il fait gris et un peu froid...

Parents / Guardians : Curriculum Night yesterday evening was great fun, thanks for dropping-by to say hello. For those parents I didn't get to speak to or who managed to sneak in and out without me noticing, please feel free to send me an email or just drop by if you have any questions or comments, any time this year.

Les élèves: rappelez-vous que votre premier devoir d'histoire est à rendre lundi sans exceptions!

Jeudi, ce soir, la rencontre des parents.

Alors, aujourd'hui les élèves ont travaillé sur leurs projets d'histoire (Prise 2), leurs projets d'art (le portrait), leur lecture Français (La peur de ma vie), et leur Anglais (Unit 1: Myth). Il y a beaucoup de travail à faire cette semaine!

Ce soir les parents vont arriver pour visiter l’école et rencontrer Monsieur Wanie.

Mercredi, la mi-semaine, un peu gris.

N'oublions pas que la soirée pour les parents commence à 18h, jeudi soir!

Aussi, Monsieur Wanie a donné des formulaires de demande de participation à l’échange SEVEC à tout les étudiants. Remplissez et ramenez-les au plus vite!

Vendredi, la premiere semaine d'ecole finie!

Alors, nous avons fini la première semaine d’école. Presque tout les enfants ont rendu leur paquets de formulaires et leur argent.

Aujourd'hui, les élèves ont reçu leurs agendas et une feuille invitant les parents a la soirée curriculum pour rencontrer les professeurs, en savoir plus sur le curriculum et regarder les salles de classe.

Il n'y a pas de devoirs pour cette fin de semaine. Les cartes du Canada vont être rendus la semaine prochaine mais les élèves auront encore une période ou deux pour y mettre des détails. 86, n'oubliez pas d'amener vos livres de lecture a l’école!

La premiere semaine de l'annee 2014-2015!

Wow, kids, how fast did that summer go by!?

Anyway, a new year has begun, with two new groups of 8s. Welcome to Monsieur Wanie's World, students!

In class we've been taking care of some paperwork and financial stuff, hopefully everything comes back to Winona correctly filled-out, paid-up, etc, by Friday.

Students have also been working on a "folded-paper assignment". It's a good first activity and an opportunity for Monsieur Wanie to learn about students themselves as well as assess where students are in their French writing abilities... Due tomorrow morning!

In the afternoon, students began reading a short story called "Il fait quoi ton papa?". It's the first of many pieces of French literature students will be using to work on their comprehension skills...

Students in 86 have been asked to bring an English reading book to class tomorrow or borrow one from the library.

La dernière journée d’école!

Students (Parents and Guardians):

Thank you for a terrific year. You produced some great work! Next year's students have a high bar to reach! I wish you all an excellent time at high school, stay out of trouble!

Thank you, as well, for your thoughtful end-of-year gifts, you know they are neither expected nor necessary! The club soda water (Max and Eric), the LCBO gift certificate (Stu), the bow-tie (Alex), the nice little note (Claire R.) and your excellent work this year (everyone)!

Be good, be safe!

Monsieur Wanie

As well, just a quick note to remind students that all "Histoire" and "Geographie" assignments must include:

-Something that's been said (in other words, something we discussed in class)
-Something that you've read (as in something you found in the textbook)
-Something from the web (like something you researched on a reliable website online)
-Something from your head (so something that shows you can relate your personal experience to what's going on in the "Geo" or "Histoire" programme.
