Jeudi, la piscine est ouverte!

So, it appears that the pool is repaired and open today! 86, bring your swim stuff tomorrow!

A big congrats go out to all the participants in yesterday's concert, it was a big hit! Big thanks also to Monsieur Ulmann and Madame Josipovic for inspiring all the musicians.

Today, 86 and 87 had their first "milestone check" for the French and Histoire presentations. And in the afternoon, both classes worked on the French folders that are due to appear in the folders tomorrow!

Mercredi, plein de musique...

Today, classes were fully involved in rehearsals for the spring concert.

In class, for the first period, students worked on the latest French folders. During the second period, students had a chance to work on their French and Histoire presentations. Monsieur Wanie explained the concept of marking milestones for evaluative purposes and gave students some further guidelines for their projects.

The afternoon was pretty much devoid of classes, given that there was a full concert rehearsal.

Mardi, un peu gris...

This morning, Monsieur Wanie outlined the questions of the last "Histoire" chapter. Surely, students must be happy that the "Histoire" textbook will be handed-back next week!


Later in the day, students put some order into their file-folders. The idea was to take a look at what assignments are still missing and do a self evaluation for the term. All assignments that are currently in the folders have been graded and Monsieur Wanie is starting to compile marks for the final reports. The end of the year is coming up soon!

Students, take note: There will be two presentation assignments to be researched and completed before the end of the year... one for French, the other for histoire. Keep in mind that these assignments will have a direct impact on your year-end reports, so they must be completed with care!

Lundi, le soleil.

Today Monsieur Wanie came back from the weekend to find out that several of his students got themselves into trouble on Friday. It's amazing what happens on any given day at school! Hopefully for those students, they understand that their participation on the Camp Arowhon trip is in jeopardy and that their behaviour will be monitored until the day of departure. It is imperative that students conduct themselves in a manner that doesn't put their safety at risk and that they use common sense and good judgement!

That aside, today students worked on the art assignments for the classroom railroad, both the good copies of the previously submitted mock-ups and the cityscape background...

And students also worked on the latest French Folders.

It was also the due-date for "Histoire, Chapitre 12" so most students handed-in their assignments by placing them in their respective folders in the file-cabinet. This week is the file self-evaluation, so hopefully students are up to date in their assignments.

Vendredi, chez le dentiste.

Hopefully students took great care today to work on their assignments with the supply teacher... Monsieur Wanie was away again!!

Anyway, next week will be a week of work and play. Get ready!

Jeudi, soleil ou pluie?

So, today was another day of work on the "modern artist" assignment. It's great to see the progress made in class on the students' different pieces. There are many really well-interpreted canvases.

Students assembled their latest French folders, "La plage", "Le camping et la peche" and "Le temps".

Tomorrow, Monsieur Wanie will be away yet again. There will be a double period for each class to finish-up on the artwork, it's due on Monday! And classes will also have time to work on the latest French folders...

Mercredi, mi-semaine mouille...

Today, both classes 86 and 87 worked very well on their modern artist assignment despite some students forgetting their supplies. A big thank you to parents who scrambled to the art store on such short notice. It seems the students didn't mention this project 6 weeks ago when it was first begun!

Anyway, the day went by with a great deal of progress made on the assignments. Hopefully we'll get to do some more work on the classroom railway, time is running out for it to get up and running...
