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most part, students are enjoying this unit sharing information about themselves and giggling about ads that are quite out of date.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.
