Mercredi, le verglas.

So today was very busy! Students in 86 and 87 had their graded "Geographie, Chapitre 7 et 8" and handed back.

Students worked on their "Histoire" maps.

And finally, Monsieur Wanie assigned the "Geographie, chapitre 9" oral project and hand-in assignment. Both are due on Monday the 31st of January. Questions 1 (oral presentation with bristol board), 2, 5, 6, 7, and 10.

Mardi gris, le grand froid est parti!

This morning, 87 had their last period of reading their "L'avalanche" and "Aventure en foret" novels. Last period before lunch, the class made more trees for the classroom railroad. Ideally, it will be even more presentable for the grade 6 night a week from now...

In the afternoon 86 worked on their maps, that are due on Monday.

Monsieur Wanie has almost finished the drawbridge. As soon as it's done, students can begin running trains in the mornings!

Lundi, le grand froid!

Hopefully, students had a great weekend and didn't freeze into popsicles on the way to school! It's a cold one out there!

Anyway, today was the due-date for the superhero assignment. Students were able to assess their peers' work before Monsieur Wanie did the actual grading. And then the "A" group's work was put up in the class while the "B" group awaits posting up in the cafeteria...

Students had the opportunity today as well to read their French novels, "L'avalanche" and "Aventure en foret", and to work on their "Histoire" maps.

Vendredi, le ciel bleu mais la neige arrive en fin de semaine.

Well, today, Monsieur Wanie didn't get to see much of either 86 or 87 due to pool.

In the morning, both classes handed-in their "Geographie, Chapitre 8". Students then either continued on their superhero portrait (Due Monday!) or their "Histoire" maps.

Hopefully, everyone has a safe and fun weekend. Snow on the way!

Jeudi, gris en matinee...

Today, students worked on their "Histoire" maps, they're due on Monday the 24 of January.

Students also worked on their Superhero assignment that's due on Monday the 17th of January.

There is a big push on over the next three weeks or so due to the fact that reports come out next month! Students, you need to keep your sights on deadlines and due-dates!

Oh, and to students missing detentions for Ms Sher, Ms Vandenberg or Ms Cosburn! Take care of your business! You don't want Monsieur Wanie to have to step in!

Mercredi, la mi-semaine et la neige.

So, this morning, 86 and 87 worked on their superhero art assignment. There are many very well done portraits out there! This year, Monsieur Wanie's two classes are very talented art-wise!

In the afternoon, all grade 8 classes trudged through the snow to get to Oakwood for the highschool tour... fun, fun!

Mardi, encore de la neige est attendue!

So, today was the big start to the "Histoire" part of the programme for the year. Students examined the first chapter that speaks of Prince Albert's visit to British North America in 1860. Students then began the first map in a series of 5 historical maps of BNA and Canada...

Students, remember that "Geo, Chapitre 8" is due on Friday the 14th of January, and that the full set of 5 "Histoire" maps are due on Monday the 24th of January.

Also note that Monsieur Wanie is coaching the swim team on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and may be a little late in offering extra help in the mornings. He'll arrive to class around 8:25 on those days...
