Mercredi, la mi-semaine!

This morning, students worked on their new French folders.

It's a bit of a crazy day because Monsieur Wanie has had the fortunate job of coaching the swim team... that made the finals at Riverdale!!! So for part of the morning and all of the afternoon, 86. 87, and 83 are in the care of a supply-teacher... students are working dillegently on their 1:87 scale house projects due on Tuesday, April 14th! And Monsieur Wanie is taking 24 swimmers across the city to compete in the best high-school pool there is!

86 and 87, remember that during your computer period, you should be researching for your "Canadian Industry" project!

And be sure to read the blog EVERY day! If you miss a day, it would be wise to go back and read-up!

The proud coach! Good job Team!

C'est toujours mardi le 7 avril!

So, here's hoping that all students have read the previous post, and that classes can move onwards and upwards! 

Today, Monsieur Wanie went through the "Histoire Chapitre 11" questions that are due on Thursday. It's a tough chapter and a tighter due-date, students beware! 

And Students in 86 and 87 also received their new "Français" chapters, 8, 9 and 10 in one folder! There is a lot of work to do! Oh, and for the faithful blog readers, here's a heads-up... pop-quiz on "Français" chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 this Thursday! 

Quite a few students were not swimming today in Pool class... students, keep in mind that if you refuse to participate in pool, your trip to Arowhon may be in jeopardy!

Aujourd'hui c'est mardi le 7 avril... on dirait novembre!

This morning, students woke up to an April morning that looked more like November! And, this might be a coincidence, but Monsieur Wanie had to deal with some bullying issues that usually get resolved by November in the school-year, never to re-appear. A reminder to students, that bullying of any sort is NOT tolerated. As students of Winona P.S. Senior, it is one of the expectations that there be NO put-downs and NO name-calling, on-line or otherwise, and  that you be respectful and considerate of all people and property. Consequences of inappropriate student behaviour in the above-mentioned situation may include suspensions of between 1 and 19 days. These consequences are clearly outlined in the Toronto District School Board's Student Code of Behaviour as explained by teachers at the beginning of the year and as outlined in students' agendas. Monsieur Wanie would be more than happy to help any student that needs clarification on these matters.

Lundi, c'est le mois d'avril et il neige!

This morning, students in 86 and 87 had to hand-in their "Histoire Chapitre 10" and in class, worked on "Chapitre 11" and the definitions to the "Mots clés" (key works).

"Histoire Chapitre 11" is due on Thursday, April 9th... posted below:

Students also worked on their 1:87 scale house projects, most are coming along very nicely!

Vendredi, les entrevues!

Just a quick thank-you to all the parents who came by or e-mailed about their children's reports! I'm proud to be able to say such good things about my students! It's a great year! Thanks again!

And another reminder to students that Monsieur Wanie is available EVERY day before school from 8 am on for extra help or to provide a quiet place to work before the school day starts!

Jeudi, c'est aujourd'hui les entrevues!

Today, or rather this evening, Monsieur Wanie is conducting parent-teacher interviews. Hopefully, he'll have enough time to say lots of good things about kids in 86 and 87...

In class, students listened intently to Monsieur Wanie's lecture about the industrial revolution, workers and working conditions in Canada in the period between 1867 and 1920. Interesting stuff, no?

Students also had time to work on their 1:87 scale houses... Lots of students brought cardboard and have done some good work so far!

C'est mercredi aujourd'hui! Le premier avril!

So, it's April 1st today!

Students in 86 and 87 had some working periods... Term 3 is in full swing! 

Today was the due-date for the 1:87 scale house drawings! Students are starting to build their projects is 3D! Monsieur Wanie is looking forward to seeing what the new neighbourhood is going to look like! Students need to remember to bring in some corrugated cardboard! 

The "Histoire Chapitre 10" is due on Monday, there were a few students in early this morning for extra help.
