So, a rainy Friday!
Students were deep into the last parts of the "Geo" assignment this morning. 86 and 87, it's due on the 13th of October so your last opportunity to work on it at school is in the morning before school on Tuesday!
There was also an opportunity today for 86 to get started on the French novel character sketch using "L'avalanche" and "Aventure en foret".
Both classes began the good copy of the unit ending 3D art drawing assignment. It's due on Friday the 16th!
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend everyone!

Jeudi, le soleil brille mais if fait frais!
This morning, several students came in early to get extra help or work with the "Geo" texts. Good to see which students are making a serious effort to get their assignments done before the due-date!
During the day, both 86 and 87 worked in groups of 3 or 4 with their French novels to get a deeper understanding of the novel. 87 then worked independently to write an outline for a character sketch followed by a full sentence draft and a draft picture to accompany the assignment. 86 will have an opportunity to catch up to 87 tomorrow...

Mercredi, j'ai pris la voiture!
First thing this morning, 87 had an extra period with Ms Gesner to work on CASI.
86 and 87 both had their "Geo Chapitre 2" handed back. Three students did exceptionally well, having handed-in assignments that demonstrated an above grade level understanding of the concepts... Good job kids!
Students continued to work on the "Etude de cas, Montreal", most students should have had sufficient time to complete the 5 questions assigned. Students also had some extra time with either "L'avalanche" or "Aventure en foret" in preparation for some related group work and subsequent class discussion and quiz.

Mardi gris...
This morning, Monsieur Wanie was on students' case about putting their names on their assignments, handing things in on time, being still and attentive for the anthem and the announcements, and bringing the textbooks back, there are 47 now... up from 44 but still below the 54 the class started the year with.
Students started work on the Montreal case study in "Geo, chapitre 2", it's not part of the assignment due on the 13th of October, but it will give students a deeper understanding of the concepts of site, situation, and land use.
In the afternoon, students in 86 and 87 began reading one or the other of two short French novels: "Aventure en foret" and "L'avalanche". Students will be answering questions based on their reading...

Lundi, une nouvelle semaine!
This morning was an exciting one for students. The QSP magazine fund-raiser starts today, most students seemed pumped about all the prizes and the potential to raise big money for the school!
The "Across the ages Geo drawing" was due today, most students handed the assignment in. Monsieur Wanie reminded students that the chapter questions are due on Tuesday, 13th October.
As well, Monsieur Wanie explained the unit ending assignment in 3D art drawing. The due-date has not been fixed yet... Students are required to use the perspective ideas and concepts taught in class on their final. It is mandatory to have both a rough draft and a good copy of this final assignment as well as handing in the entire package of drawings worked on in class for full marks to be awarded.

Vendredi, c'est presque le "weekend"!
Finally Friday! Students and teachers seem to be a little tired lately, maybe it's the lack of sunlight this week!
Anyway, Monsieur Wanie spent yesterday evening and this morning combing the world for more "Geo" textbooks! They are very expensive and hard to find. He has an email written to a used textbook retailer, so there's a chance there will be some for next week! Yay!
Today, both 86 and 87 worked diligently on their "Geo" chapter. Monsieur Wanie went back and added detail to the discussion on the chapter to clarify even further the themes and questions within.
Students, do not forget that the "through the ages" assignment is due on Monday!

Jeudi, demain c'est vendredi!
This morning, students read about "emplacement et position" in their "Geo" textbooks and worked on their comprehension of questions 10 and 13... Monsieur Wanie provided some clarification on these, considerably more difficult, last questions.
Students have not been allowed to sign out textbooks for the last few days given that ten of them have disappeared. Upon their return, Monsieur Wanie will once again allow students to take them home. To make up for this unfortunate situation, several students have taken advantage of the fact that Monsieur Wanie provides time before school for all students to come in and work or get extra help.
In the afternoon, students in both 86 and 87 worked on their "perspective drawing unit", and 86 had some extra time to work on their "through the ages" drawing due Monday.
