February 9, 2024

 
Hello EES families! 

Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate! 

In Language Arts, we started to learn about feelings. Students focused on recognizing and naming feelings and emotions using visuals, photos and playing matching games. 




In Math, we are started measurements and focus on ‘tall/long’ and ‘short’ concepts with hands-on activities, songs, stories and worksheets. During one of the activities, students measured their feet with connecting cubes. It was lots of fun!




In the Gym class, our students are learning to calm their bodies after active games. 


In Science, we learned about sound, what is vibration, sources and characteristics of sound. Students had a chance to play a guitar and observe how vibration creates sound.





In arts class, students worked on creating face expressions using different materials.






With Calgary’s ever-changing weather, it is important to ensure your child has appropriate outdoor clothing for school. Students go outside daily for lunch and afternoon recess so hats, mittens, and snow pants to accompany winter boots and coats are a must on these winter days!
