Lundi et il fait froid!

Students in 86 and 87 had two assignments to hand in today, the "Pictionnaire" and the "Histoire Chapitre 6" questions. Most students had either one or the other completed and took class time to work on the missing assignment. 

This week, students will be working on the "Géographie Projet Final". Progress on the assignment must be evident in class to obtain full marks! Students, bring your material to class!

Tomorrow students will be receiving "Chapitre 5: L'automobile" of their French grammar units!

There is a lot of fun stuff to look forward to this week!

C'est vendredi, il fait soleil, c'est presque le weekend!

Students in 86 and 87 had the choice this morning of working on their "Pictionnaires" or on the "Histoire" assignment due on Monday. 
Most students worked diligently knowing that if they took all the notes from the white-boards and added answers from ATC #s 1 and 2, they would be in the market for a "B". To get an "A", students need to include information from the "hint pages" Monsieur Wanie indicated yesterday.    

Students need to remember to bring supplies for the "Géographie Projet Final" to class on Monday in order to show progress in their assignment!

Bonne fin de semaine tout le monde!

Jeudi, le vrai jeudi!

So, back to your normally scheduled Winona'sMonsieurWanie blog...

Today, students in 86 once again split into the groups they were working with for the "Histoire" assignment. Last period today is their time to present answers.

87 had two periods yesterday to work in groups and presented their answers period 5 today. Good job!

BOTH classes have a Monday due-date for "Histoire Chapitre 6"!

All students must remember to bring "Géographie Projet Final" elements to class to work on!

Mercredi, il neige encore!

So, this post comes a day late due to technical difficulties... 

Today (Wednesday), students started work on "Histoire Chapitre 6". 86 and 87 were separated into groups and worked on the chapter questions. Tomorrow, students will be able to come together and share their answers. Hopefully this will make for interesting class discussions and encourage more student participation. Ideally, with some decent note-taking, it will make the homework assignment easier too! 

À demain les étudiants!

Mardi, de retour du long weekend!

Students are back at work after a beautiful long weekend. Hopefully, everyone had a chance to get some fresh air instead of sitting in front of their Wii!

 Today, classes 86 and 87 worked diligently at their "picture dictionaries". 

Ms Ellen was in class making sure everyone's "Course selection sheets" are in order. Choices, choices, there are so many to make for high school. Make sure to make the right ones!

Here's the new "Histoire" assignment! 
Due Monday 23rd February!
"Histoire Chapitre 6"
VTC 1-6
ATC 1,2
P154-P181

Jeudi, pas d'école demain!


Students in both 86 and 87 handed-in their "Histoire" and "Géographie" assignments today! Classes had an opportunity to work on their visual dictionaries, most students are doing a great job! Monsieur Wanie also collected the "Géo" textbooks. 86 had the pizza party they won ages ago for selling all those magazine subscriptions! Good stuff! The class owes big "props" to Nikki for the win!
