Vendredi! C'est les vacances!

Sooo, Monsieur Wanie is "bummed" to not be able to be at work today to wish everyone a great holiday and a happy New Year on the last day before the vacation... so this post will have to do! 

Students, stay out of trouble, have fun, watch out for traffic, there are lots of crazy drivers out there! Have a great vacation and we'll see you in the New Year!

This morning, 86 and 87 had a chance to finish up work on the "Greatest Canadian" project and hand it in. Students also had time to work on the "Forced Perspective-Toronto" project that is due after the break. 

Again, there is no homework over the break BUT lots to do the week we are back... students can get a head start on it all by looking at the previous post.

And a big thank you, happy holidays and great new year wishes to parents too! Terrific kids you have! It is a honour to be their teacher, I am very proud of them!

Jeudi! Demain, c'est vendredi!

Another great day today, students!

 

Classes 86 and 87 worked on their "Greatest Canadian" projects due tomorrow!

Students also had a class lesson to discuss "la productivité" and question #1 of yesterday's "Géographie" assignment. Students examined how it relates to the way of life in the 1860's as described in our "Histoire pré-chapitre". 

Students, over your vacation there is no homework... BUT:

You should read the rest of "Chapitre 5" in "Géo" and look at questions #3,5,11,12,13... they will be assigned the first week back and due January 9th! 

You could also read "Chapitre 1" in "Histoire" and look at questions #1,2,3,4,6,7 of "Vérifie tes connaissances" and #5 of "Applique tes connaissances"... they will be assigned the first week back and due January 9th!

Mercredi, un peu de neige!

Great day today! Most students had all the required elements necessary to work on their "Greatest Canadian" project. Students handed in their "Histoire Pré-Chapitre", if you missed that opportunity, tomorrow morning at 8:15 is your last chance! 

Tonight, students should be working on their "Chapitre 5" P108 #1. Due tomorrow morning! 

À demain!  

Mardi, ensoleillé, mais il fait froid...

Things making Monsieur Wanie crazy today:

1. Some students are still not checking the blog on a daily basis. 

2. Students who come to school unprepared and fail to accomplish work set out for the day!

3. Students skipping computer class!

Things making Monsieur Wanie happy today:

1. The highest number of students from 87 in the pool all year!

2. Students who check the blog.

3. Students who ask questions about "Histoire" when they aren't sure about something...

4. Students working well with others.

Things that would make Monsieur Wanie happy tomorrow:

1. All students bring "Histoire" texts to class with associated "Pré-Chapitre" work.

2. All students have printed out portrait of their "Greatest Canadian" to complete assignment.

3. All students bring "Géographie" texts to class in the afternoon.

4. All students gather supplies for "Forced Perspective-Toronto" project and stow in locker.

5. Students find stray tennis balls and bring to blue bin in class.

6. Students continue to show the positive attitude that you all have had since the first day of school!

Souriez! C'est presque les vacances!

Lundi, il pleut!

This is the last week before the Christmas break! Yay!

Today students worked on their "forced perspective-Toronto" assignments, this afternoon was dedicated to the Winter Concert Dress Rehearsal... Monsieur Wanie is looking forward to this evening's performance!

In the meantime, students MUST have all supplies for their "forced perspective-Toronto" assignments in class as well as the portraits for the "Greatest Canadian assignment".  And there is the "Histoire pré-chapitre" to work on... it's due Wednesday!

C'est vendredi!

Soooo, Monsieur Wanie was not in regular classes at school today, instead, he was given the opportunity to hang out with the music kids on tour! Okay, everyone knows that Ms J. and Mr Ullman are great music teachers right? But did anyone say how well you kids did! I mean Wow! You students were phenomenal! It was so great to see you perform! Bien fait et bravo!

For the weekend, here are some reminders for everyone, not just Andrea and Sheridan...

1. Did you hand in your "Géo Chapitre 4"?

2. Did you hand in your book study assignment?

3. Did you gather supplies and come up with ideas for your "Forced perspective-Toronto" assignment?

4. Did you work on your "Histoire pré-chapitre"?

5. Did you print out a portrait of your "Greatest Canadian" to use when drawing?

6. Did you find 6 cheap or worn tennis balls?

7. From way back... did you hand in your printed-out "Tex and Tammy" verb stuff?

8. Did you plan some fun stuff to do over the break so you don't get in trouble hanging out at the mall?

There are lots of things you could be doing AS WELL AS reading Twilight for the tenth time!

Soyez prudents ce weekend! Il y a beaucoup de voitures sur la route. C'est des gens qui roulent trop vite et qui ne vous voient pas traverser la rue! Bon weekend, et à lundi!

Jeudi... il fait froid!

It's good to see that most students are checking the blog more regularly! 

Today, students worked on their "Forced Perspective-Toronto" projects.

There was an assembly for students who made the Honour Roll. 

Cool that there were lots of kids from 86 and 87! Good stuff! Keep it up!

And in the afternoon, it was locker-cleanout time! Yikes, lots of scary stuff! Missing projects, smelly gym stuff, the odd bad math test you forgot to show dad... and Ewww what was that? Here's an idea: maybe students should take some stuff home over the Christmas break to sort it out, to dispose of it in a biohazard bin or take it to a forest and release it in the wild?

Demain, c'est Vendredi!
