Mardi, frais dehors.

This morning, 86 worked on their modern artist assignment. Tomorrow, students will need to bring their paint and supplies to work on the good copy.

In the latter part of the morning, 87 missed their pool periods because of the broken "main pool pump" and somehow got into trouble with the supply teacher in Ms Gesner's classroom. As such, Monsieur Wanie had a few words with them and then 87 went to the library to research the modern artist assignment.

Both Monsieur Tancredi and Monsieur DaLuz came in yesterday to talk to classes about some behaviour issues. Students, it is important to abide by school and common sense rules regarding behaviour so as not to get into or create trouble.

Lundi, soleil...

Monday, a chilly one! Many students did not get all their work done on Friday with the supply teacher! So this morning 86 and 87 are playing catch-up to try to get their work done...

A few students came in early to ask for extensions on their "Histoire, chapitre 11" that was due today...

"Histoire, chapitre 12" is due a week Monday (the 17, May)
P316-341
Questions:
VTC#1,2,5,7
ATC#1,3

Monsieur Wanie went over all the questions of the new "Histoire" chapter with both classes today...

Vendredi, soleil et pluie.

Does anyone ever like going to the Dentist?

Monsieur Wanie would much rather have been at work!

Anyway, both 86 and 87 had a solid day planned for them today. A little work on the new French folders, a little work on the computers in the library and a little work on the "Histoire" unit due on Monday!

Hopefully, everyone has a safe weekend!

Jeudi, beacoup de vent.

Today, students in 86 and 87 picked up their lates French Folder, with "Chapitre 23: Au theatre et au cinema, Chapitre 24: Au concert", and "Chapitre 25: Les sports". "Chapitre 22: A la maison" is due to be handed-in on Monday.

Students were reminded of the "Histoire, Chapitre 11" assignment due on Monday and the last two chapters due shortly thereafter.

Tomorrow, students will begin the rough drafts of work on a "Modern Artist" art assignment that everyone began a few weeks back. On the go already art-wise is the good copy of the railroad industry mock-ups...

Mercredi, l'orage cet apres-midi?

So, this morning, Monsieur Shipinkas came in to give 86 and heads-up about the CASI test coming up soon.

Monsieur Wanie read the riot act to 86 for not having completed "Chapitre 22" of the French folder yet while Monsieur Wanie and 87 have already taken up 3/4s of the chapter!

Some pictures came back from the TDSB Music Mondays at Yonge-Dundas Square, great job!
And in the afternoon Monsieur Wanie had a discussion regarding some "issues" that have been occuring in class and outside the school. A reminder to students: Read the Code Of Conduct in your agenda and be aware of the possible consequences to breaking the rules... You are young adults and are entitled to a safe environment in which to grow and learn. If your safety or well-being is in any way threatened, you must tell an adult, ask someone for help or phone the police.

Mardi, belle journee!

Today, in the morning, 87 worked on their railway assignment and Monsieur Wanie took up some of "Chapitre 22: A la maison".

In the afternoon, JJ, the Camp Arowhon director, came in to present the slide show and answer some questions. Monsieur Wanie and Monsieur Ferron handed out forms to every participant. It was frustrating to note how many information forms were not filled out with Ohip numbers and emergency contact information! Students, get all the information filled out!!! You will NOT be allowed on the trip without the necessary information provided. Parents, please be sure to include all required information.

Lundi, le soleil brille!

This morning, 86 and 87 had to hand-in their "Histoire, Chapitre 10". A few students had come in early to ask for extensions. Remember, the folders are being graded now! Any assignments not handed-in on time are unlikely to be assigned a mark!

A reminder to students of tomorrow's Arowhon slideshow and meeting during periods 6 and 7, and to parents of a meeting for them regarding Arowhon at 6:30pm in the Winona staffroom. All students participating in the trip will be given an important document tomorrow to be reviewed in detail with their parent or guardian before departure on the trip. As well today is the due-date for the remainder of the Arowhon payment.

In class, at the end of the morning, students in 87 worked on the planning for the final copy of their buildings/industries. Most students have decent mock-ups done and need to figure out how to incorporate their designs into the railroad layout.

86 had their swim period in the afternoon. And that was pretty much it to the day!
