May 25th

One month from today, we will be celebrating at the Grade 8 grad! Time sure does fly. There is never a dull moment at Winona the wonderful and although we are 9/10 of the way through the year, we still have lots to do. In English class, CASI is a distant memory now and we are questioning, reflecting and challenging the media and ourselves. For the most part, students are enjoying this unit sharing information about themselves and giggling about ads that are quite out of date. We will be continuing this unit until the Camp Arrowhon trip. In homeroom, we are wrapping up our presentations on Confederation and continuing our understanding of the western expansion. Before year's end, we will be looking at the causes of WWI and what was happening at the turn of the century. In French, we are continuing to improve our grammar and language comprehension through reading, worksheets and our Art biography. Whew. It was a hot week, but a great one! Enjoy the weekend.

May 8th

Most English classes worked on CASI. 8-5 will start theirs tomorrow. 8-8 will be attending a dance performance at Oakwood in the morning and our "All-City" friends will be leaving us for the last time :) Then it will be on the musical rehearsals. Although time is flying, there is still a lot of work for us to do before school ends. Most of this work will be homework and some projects. This will allow students to plan their time accordingly. There will be less detail on the blog and students prepare for high school and continue to use their agendas. The blog is meant to be a "Back-up" and a way for parents to check-in. It is NOT meant to replace the use of agendas. Homework: -Math sheet (both sides) for tomorrow -Father of Confederation (en francais)-Thursday ( you're welcome for the extension) -French sheet (both sides)-Friday

May 4th

May the 4th be with you ;) Miss.Posedowski finished her official placement today. However, since she is so awesome, she will be returning on Monday to continue her teaching and learning. We will be working together to support the Grade 8 students. 8-8 FRENCH Titanic comic strip is due Monday. Your Father of Confederation project is due Wednesday. You may do a different form of media as long as your presentation is in French. Upcoming work: Art Project History Project (The West) French Biographie Yes, this seems like a lot BUT you don't get a lot of homework and this will allow you to manage your time at your convenience since we are all busy at different times. These next few weeks will fly by since time flies when we are having fun :) Bon weekend!
