Mardi, de retour d'un long weekend!

It's a nice, sunny Tuesday and everyone's back from the long weekend!

Today, several students are out taking part in the city track and field championships, a great day for it that's for sure!

Students in 86 had a CASI assignment to work on for two periods, one this morning and one this afternoon.

87 worked in the library to research their Canadian Industry and Francophone Country Projects and received outlines for both. Classwork starts soon so get your jot-notes and ideas together.

86 and 87 must keep in mind that classwork on the art assignment starts on Thursday and that it's due on Wednesday the 27th of May. Bring your supplies to class!

Jeudi, la pluie c'est pour les fleurs!

Today started out grey and rainy and ended up sunny and windy... a perfect day to get some work done then! There are quite a few students who have not handed-in their folded paper projects! And a few who haven't made a good start on their "deuxieme test" of "Le Loup des Mers"! Better get a move on because the "troisieme test" questions need to be finished and in the folders by Friday afternoon!

No one from 86 or 87 was able to get the answer to the artist challenge posted yesterday... good luck for tomorrow!

Students are also reminded to get their "Grad comments" handed-in to Ms Romberg or there will be a blank space below their picture in the yearbook!

Another friendly reminder: Students: if you're feeling like Monsieur Wanie is "on your case and in your face" about assignments and behaviour, please keep in mind that there is only a month and a half of school left in the year, and that it's student's well-being and continued success that are most important to him! Get those missing assignments in and do not forget school rules and protocol!

Mercredi, 20C cet apres-midi!

This morning, students were given an art challenge... the beginning to a new art project. To start, students copied a list of artists, the idea is to figure out what they all have in common and come in early to win the challenge... Details to follow!

Monsieur Wanie and the class took up the first chapter questions for "Le Loup des Mers". Students were then given the questions to the second chapter and asked to work in groups of two.

Sheridan is in Florida... Monsieur Wanie forgot to ask her for a RonJon Surfshop sticker... : ( here's hoping she reads the blog and brings one back! Or at least more warm weather...

C'est mardi le 12 mai, 2009!

It looks like another nice and sunny day out!

Classes 86 and 87 worked diligently to get their folded paper projects finished, they are due tomorrow!

Today, students were also working on "Le loup des mers"... everyone received questions to answer on the first chapter.

Students should be working at home on their Canadian Industry presentations... and researching their Francophone countries
