English-Today was reading response day. Most students had their books already in class and read quietly.
A reminder that it is your repsonsibility to leave your novel in class and to be prepared. We will continue this on Monday.
8-8 Students reviewed "y", "en" and "où". We continued our presentations and reviewed expectations for tomorrow.
We will be attending a Blue Jays game in May and the forms are due Monday, April 2nd!

All English classes continued reading about The Titanic unless they were smiling prettily for their Grad photos.
In French, we reviewed où and its placement in sentences and read an article about healthy eating in French.
A reminder that Friday is a special day at Winona when all students will enjoy a presentation from the Junior Achievement team.

Looking for something to do?
Winona still needs a design for its Eco-superhero and a yearbook cover!
Remember to include the year 2011-2012 on your yearbook cover.
I am sure that Mr. del Sol would appreciate any early essay submissions. There will be no more class time so why not hand your work in tomorrow?b

We are busily working towards March Break. Students cleaned out their lockers today, we continued our Geography presentations and our work on Notre Dame.
Many students will be absent tomorrow.
For the first day after March Break, it is expected that 8-8 students will have the 4 adjective sheets completed in addition to the VANDERTRAMP worksheet. We will be continuing our review of the passé composé after the break and moving on to the futur simple.
Students who are not going on the music field trip tomorrow or early vacation will have time in class tomorrow to work on their French grammar.

8-8 Students completed their second quiz on the past participles and we reviewed some grammar.
We continued our reading of "The Bite of the Mango".
We had a good class discussion.
Students are steadily improving in French. The effort you are putting in at home is paying off.
There is a dance this Friday afternoon. If students don't want to dance, there are other activities available at the school. There is something for everyone!
Students are expected to stay at school and participate in these activities.
Clocks SPRING ahead this weekend, we lose an hour of sleep but gain an hour of sunshine!

More students are working diligently on forming a thesis and supporting arguments. Some students neglected to complete the 1st part of the assignment and unfortunately this will make it overwhelming to write the final essay. keep up with your work as Mr. del Sol is doing an excellent job of breaking it down into manageable pieces.
You will need to write many essays and use MLA referencing in the future.
The 3-D Guernica Art pieces are coming along beautifully.
We had a very successful meeting of the 8-8 French club today at lunch.
There will be another Passe Compose quiz tomorrow. Regular and irregular p.p #51-99.
Bonne Chance!

In English class, students worked through a mock debate learning how to present an argument/thesis statement in preparation for some writing next week.
For homework, 8-7 students need to come up with a thesis statement, 3 sources (MLA format) and an outline of their 3 arguments for Monday.
8-8 students started presenting their Geography presentations. We will continue tomorrow and do some more Art.
All the best at Kiwanis tomorrow and congratulations to the skills team for all of their hard work.
