We have had a busy week in EES!  

Our classes have started to learn about the season of Fall, and we will continue this theme in our learning for the next couple of weeks.  The students are beginning to explore fall items such as leaves through art, sensory play and language arts.  In math the students have worked on numbers, counting and skip counting.  They are also continuing to work through the All About Me theme, with a focus on family and exploring their family trees.  

The EES classes have been getting a lot of use out of the sensory room, and they continue to enjoy using this space for regulation and learning.  The lights, music, vibrations, textures and sounds allow the students to use their senses to explore the space around them, and prepare their minds and bodies for their next piece of learning. 

              

MTS had the first fire drill practice of the year on Thursday, and it was a huge success!  The students were able to show that they could safely exit the building and wait with their classmates and teachers until it was safe to return to the school.

Please see these important dates and reminders:

Orange Shirt Day 

During the week of September 25-28, students will spend time reflecting on the meaning of Orange Shirt Day.
