Encore le soleil!

Another sunny morning and the spring weather is arriving quickly! Students (and maybe teachers too!) are a bit squirrely this morning, possibly because of yesterday night's full moon! Maybe it's spring fever, who knows...

Anyhow, 86 and 87 were given a stern warning against any pranks tomorrow. Punishment may include suspension and/or removal from the Arowhon trip. Students' need to show a degree of maturity!

Today, both classes worked on the Folded Paper Grammar Assignments as well as the French Folder. Monsieur Wanie is taking up "Chapitre 10" tomorrow.

Next week, students will be spending lots of time on the scenery for the classroom railroad. Hopefully everyone will be working hard! It needs to be much closer to completion than it already is for the first train to run right around the classroom!

Mardi et Monsieur Wanie n'est pas a l'ecole!

So today, Monsieur Wanie had some things to take care of outside the school... that left a pretty strange supply in charge of the class. Perhaps that was a mean comment, but that was the consensus among students.

Anyway, students in both 86 and 87 were working on the French Folders and the Folded Paper Grammar Assignments...

Monsieur Wanie was unhappy to have missed the Honour Roll assembly yesterday, congratulations to those who received a certificate and to everyone else who is working towards one!

Lundi, temps variable!

Today, students and Monsieur Wanie took up "Chapitre 9" of the French folders. There were many students who had not completed the chapter as of Friday. Hopefully those students worked on it over the weekend.

As well today, Monsieur Wanie assigned a new French grammar assignment.

The parameters of the new art project were also explained... lots to do, lots to do!!

Students, DO NOT FORGET, your Novel Triple Project is due on Thursday!

Vendredi, il fait soleil et il fait frais!

This morning, 86 had four "Histoire" questions due. It was a tough morning for a few students who failed to get their homework completed! Three new questions were assigned having to do with the rapid growth of cities like Winnipeg between the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the incidence of the Canadian Pacific Railroad on population growth and distribution in the prairies.

87 had all seven histoire questions assigned today to do over the weekend.

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie came around and checked homework in "Chapitre 9" of the French folders.

And 86 had the opportunity to go to the library to do some research on the artists for the next art project...

Jeudi, frais et gris...

This morning, students in 86 and 87 worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 8". Students were taking notes on the diary of a settler on the praries in 1904...

1:87th scale projects are still trickling in, the final due-date is tomorrow (Friday).

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie was out of class again, this time with the Winona Sharks Swim Team at the Semi-Finals.

As well, today is the due-date for the 1:87th scale projects so the classroom railway should look like progress is being made! Pictures to follow!

Mardi pluvieux.

Well, this morning, 87 worked at a sentence building assignment and their word search from yesterday.

In the afternoon, Monsieur Wanie handed out chapters 9,10,11, and 12 of the French folders. Students stand to gain a lot of practice in identifying French vocabulary and implementing it's use in their work. The exercises may seem tedious, but they are worthwhile.

Two students handed-in their 1:87th assignments... check out the cool pond and awesome wind turbine!
