EES MTS: November 20

Hello EES families!

Thank you for attending our recent parent-teacher conference. We appreciate you taking the time to meet with us and hope that our conference was able to provide you with some valuable insight into your child's progress at school.

In case you couldn’t make it and you would like to set up an alternate meeting time or phone call next week, please reach out.

This week at school:

Regardless of the time of year and what part of Canada we live in, it is always important to share Indigenous perspectives in our classrooms. So, we tried to incorporate activities in Math and Science revolving around Metis week (November 12-18, 2023). In Language arts, we read the story ‘The Giving Tree’: A retelling of a traditional Metis story. This charming tale emphasizes Metis’ core values and beliefs including strength, kindness, courage, tolerance, honesty, respect, love, sharing, caring, balance, patience, and most of all, the important connection with the Creator and Mother Earth.

Our students love to indulge in sensory play which encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem solving and creativity. Activities like painting, crafting and building Lego are also liked by many.
