Vendredi, il fait soleil et il fait frais!

This morning, 86 had four "Histoire" questions due. It was a tough morning for a few students who failed to get their homework completed! Three new questions were assigned having to do with the rapid growth of cities like Winnipeg between the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the incidence of the Canadian Pacific Railroad on population growth and distribution in the prairies.

87 had all seven histoire questions assigned today to do over the weekend.

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie came around and checked homework in "Chapitre 9" of the French folders.

And 86 had the opportunity to go to the library to do some research on the artists for the next art project...

Jeudi, frais et gris...

This morning, students in 86 and 87 worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 8". Students were taking notes on the diary of a settler on the praries in 1904...

1:87th scale projects are still trickling in, the final due-date is tomorrow (Friday).

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie was out of class again, this time with the Winona Sharks Swim Team at the Semi-Finals.

Mercredi et le soleil brille!

Well, today will be a busy one... Monsieur Wanie is in and out of the classroom all day so students will be under the watchful eye of Abelio.

86 and 87 will be working on their new French folders, "Chapitres 9, 10, 11 and 12".

As well, today is the due-date for the 1:87th scale projects so the classroom railway should look like progress is being made! Pictures to follow!

The latest "Histoire Chapitre" has been assigned:
Histoire Chapitre 8
P208-233
Questions:
VTC: 1,2,4
ATC: 3,4
A rendre: mardi 6 avril.

Mardi pluvieux.

Well, this morning, 87 worked at a sentence building assignment and their word search from yesterday.

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie handed out chapters 9,10,11, and 12 of the French folders. Students stand to gain a lot of practice in identifying French vocabulary and implementing it's use in their work. The exercises may seem tedious, but they are worthwhile.

Two students handed-in their 1:87th assignments... check out the cool pond and awesome wind turbine!

Lundi, le retour a l'ecole!

So, most students are back from Spring Break, hopefully everyone is ready for the push to the end of the year.

Students in 86 and 87 started an activity designed to augment their French vocabulary and boost their sentence building skills.

The mock-ups for the 1:87 buildings are due on Wednesday so ideally there will be more progress made on the classroom railway project this week...

Vendredi, et voila, il pleut. Je vous ai prevenu!

So, this morning, students who were in for extra help were able to run the first train on the classroom railroad... there's a lot of work yet to be done but it's coming along!In class, students noted the assignments that are coming up. There is a lot of work students should be attending-to over the vacation as well as taking some time to rest up for the push to the end of the year...

So, students: Have a great, and above all, a safe vacation, see you on the flipside!

Jeudi! Pluie, ou est tu?

Continuing the barrage of grammar this week, students in 86 and 87 recieved a new worksheet in the imperative verb forms, and a crossword reward sheet on "Life at Winona" for all the hard work completed!

Monsieur Wanie worked hard yesterday and today at some of the more finicky parts of the railroad so after the break, classes could work on making more scenery...

First train runs tomorrow!

Finally really nice weather!
