Happy New Year, and welcome back! We hope you and your families had a wonderful winter break filled with rest, fun, and special moments. It has been so nice having the students back in the classrooms. We jumped right into learning and had a fantastic first week of the new year.

This week, our learning theme focused on Arctic animals, and the students were fully engaged across all subject areas.

In Language Arts, we read stories and explored new vocabulary related to Arctic animals, discussing how they survive in cold environments. The students enjoyed sharing what they already knew with the help of felt pieces and asking thoughtful questions.

In Science, we had a hands-on experiment making snow slime! This activity was a big hit, helping students explore textures, changes in materials, and follow step-by-step directions, all while having fun.

                                                

In Math, students worked on identifying and creating patterns, using winter- and Arctic-themed examples to make learning meaningful and engaging.

We also spent time on art and craft, where students created their own Arctic animals and used watercolor painting to bring them to life. Their creativity and effort were wonderful to see, and the classroom was filled with colorful artwork.

                                                      

                                                     

It was a fun, busy, and exciting week of learning, and we are looking forward to all the great things ahead in the coming weeks. Thank you for your continued support, and we are excited to start the new year together!

 Dear EES families!

This festive week was full of fun, creativity and memorable moments! Each day, we celebrated something special! 

On Monday, we started with the Festive socks day. It was great to see students and staff wearing all different and funny socks! We practiced recognizing and telling colours and patterns, sorting socks and even colouring and decorating them. 

In the gym , we had lots of fun dancing with glowing in the dark sticks and flashlights. 

On Tuesday, our students showed up with their Christmas hats on! 

In Art, we created our special Holidays Cards and sent them to families. 

On Wednesday, we participated in Carolling at the gym and sang Christmas songs with the whole school. It was also an Ugly sweater day, and all our students looked fantastic wearing their festive  sweaters. As a sweet treat to all families, we baked sugar cookies for everyone!

On Thursday, it was time to decorate our cookies, sing last round of Christmas songs and listen to a Gingerbread man story!

On Friday we celebrated Pajama Day! We started with listening to a special Christmas story with Dr. Slater. 

Then, we danced, played jingle bells and sang Christmas song during our Music class. Today was also a day full of treats: oranges, candy canes and Hot chocolate which we made with Ms. Emma! 

Finally, we all were in the right festive mood, ready to wrap up the first semester of school and go celebrate holidays and have a nice winter break with our families!

We wish you happy holidays!

We will see you in a new year on January 5th!

Ms. Veronika, Ms. Emma and Ms. Swapna.
