Jeudi, presque Vendredi!

Boy, what a busy day! Even before school, there were a few students in the classroom putting the last touches on their "Star Wars" posters. 

This morning, the class worked well on their two new French folders! 

This afternoon lots of students asked intelligent questions regarding their "Histoire" and "Géographie" assignments due tomorrow. 

Many students have worked hard this week! 

"Props" go to Connor for the good effort in reading this afternoon!  

PS Good one Monsieur Wanie for the flub in this evening's assembly speech! Duh, Monsieur Wanie!

Mercredi! Milieu de la semaine.

Today, students in 86 and 87 worked to finish up their "Star Wars" posters. Quite a few pieces have been handed-in already and they look great! The due-date is tomorrow students!

Other students had the opportunity to work on their "Histoire" and "Géo" due Friday.

All in all, a hard working day!

A little shout out to those who joined the swim team... the two first practices were today, one early in the morning, the other in the afternoon. Lots of students turned out, nice to see our pool is getting used!

Mardi, chez le dentiste!

















So, while Monsieur Wanie was having his teeth cleaned and assorted other fun stuff, students were back at Winona working diligently. The word from Monsieur Wanie's spies in the halls, is that the "Star Wars poster assignment" is coming along well! Hopefully everyone will have them done by the Thursday due date! 

Here's a picture some of you might find interesting! Winona is not just a cool school...

Vendredi! Électrifiant!

Well, the power is out in a ten block radius of the school, but Winona has all the lights on! Hmm, where does the electricity for the school come from? Anyway, it means that the musical we were supposed to go see at Oakwood has been postponed... and that it's business as usual here at Winona!

Students can get a jump on next week's "Géo" and "Histoire" assignments, here they are!

"Histoire Chapitre 3" P72-99

Bon weekend les élèves!

Jeudi ensoleillé!

Lots of students did NOT choose their Star Wars character yesterday night, so Monsieur Wanie bailed everyone out by taking both 86 and 87 to the library today! He helped students choose and print out pictures of their characters. Tonight, students must complete the pencil drawing part of the assignment to be able to do the pastel part tomorrow...

Hopefully, students used the periods provided to work on their "Histoire" and "Géo" due tomorrow so once they finish their drawings they can work on science or math or something brainy!

Mercredi! Il fait un froid de canard!


Today, students were handed back their "Greatest Canadian" assignments... most students did really well, so we posted them in the classroom!




Monsieur Wanie went over the assignment due in "Géo" and Students had some class time to work and ask questions. 

In the afternoon, all grade 8 classes went on the Oakwood tour! 

Students, don't forget to choose your Star Wars character for the latest art assignment! We'll be starting tomorrow! Also, students need to locate their dictionaries and "Bescherelles" for an assignment next week!
