Vendredi, le soleil et le vrai froid!

This morning was a really quiet one. Students had an opportunity finish reading the first of their French reading novels and to get started on their second...

Students need to remember that it's getting close to report card time and that if there are any assignments which still need to be handed-in, there is very little time left to do so. Monsieur Wanie spoke specifically to some students as a personal reminder that good grades are at stake! This is grade 8, it is the students' responsibility to be on top of the work assigned.

Another reminder, the "Histoire, chapitres 2,3,4" questions are due on Monday!

Also, 86, you have pool on Monday! There are no excuses! Pack your swim stuff now so you do not forget it!

Jeudi, un peu de neige et beaucoup de vent!

Today, students did some silent reading of the French novels.

Monsieur Wanie collected the "Histoire mots cles" that were due today.

There was a meeting for all grade 8 students with Monsieur Wanie and Monsieur Ferron... Hopefully lots of students will be able to take advantage of this opportunity...

In the afternoon, some students worked on their "Spy Project", others worked on the French folders and still others spent some time cleaning the class up for the grade 6 open house this evening.

Mercredi, froid et vent!

This morning, students in 86 and 87 handed-in their "Geo" assignments. It's great to see an almost full pile of folders!

Don't forget that the "Histoire Mots Cles" are due tomorrow!

Students had some class time to work on the "Chapitre 7 et 8" French folders. Monsieur Wanie went over the "Histoire" questions that are due on Monday with 87.

In the afternoon, students did some correcting of the verb tests. It looks like most students did really well!

86 had a chance to start reading the two latest French reading books: "La nuit mouvementee de Rachel" and "Le galop du templier"...

It was a busy day!

Mardi gris.

So, this morning, 86 and 87 did their French grammar tests. Most students did well but a few will be coming in early tomorrow for a "do over" given the appearance of cheating going on...

Students also received their French tests back, and in the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie went over them to make corrections and help students further their knowledge of the novels.

Everyone put together their new French folders... "Chapitre 7 et 8".

Monsieur Wanie gave 86 and 87 a "heads-up" about the Arowhon trip coming up in June. There will be a meeting and a hand-out on Thursday...

Lundi, la brume!

So, a big rainy start to the week!

It was a tough Monday for 86 and 87. They had their "Sonson et le volcan" and "La peur de ma vie" test. Hopefully all students did well!

Tomorrow will be the verb/grammar quiz. Students need to study all the UTexas assignments and make or bring in notes. Students should understand the importance of Monsieur Wanie's on-the-board help!

Here's the last UTexas homework for the test:

Vendredi en plein soleil.

This morning, Monsieur Wanie and class 87 went over the two French reading books as a pre-test review. Most students participated well! Hopefully the test next week will seem easy!

Chapters 2,3 and 4 of "Histoire" have been assigned, they will be condensed due to the shorter 2nd term... that means that the assignments are more important and will be worth more on the term report...

Histoire
Chapitres:
Ch2 P52-71

Ch4 P100-121
*Mots cles a rendre jeudi 28 janvier (edit)

Jeudi, une belle journee...

This morning, students did some re-arranging of the classroom, giving everyone a bit more "place pour les coudes" as a someone put it in an assignment...

Monsieur Wanie had classes take some notes in their agendas regarding the assignments that need doing before February 8th...

*the spy project
*the French grammar test
*the reading quiz
*the last chapters in "Geographie"
*the new "Histoire" unit

Yikes, that's a lot of "to-dos"!
