Dear Families,
What a week it has been! Between our busy schedule and the crazy weather, there has been a lot going on in EES.
We focused on the theme of Kindness this week, which we have been thinking about for a couple of weeks in preparation for Pink Shirt Day. It was so great to see how many students wore their pink shirts to promote kindness and inclusion. To help celebrate this day and to encourage kindness, the students engaged in a variety of activities. We thought about kindness and writing notes to our friends in Language Arts, and did some yummy pink cooking! The students practiced their life skills through baking delicious pink cupcakes, and pink cereal treat hearts - they enjoyed both making and eating them! In their math lessons, students continued to work on measurement, counting, and number sequencing, and students got to play with some life skills activities to help them learn how to make a sandwich.
It was a challenge for some of our students to miss their outside time on the playground at the start of the week, but they eventually got to go out and play in the puddles. Please continue to make sure that your child has spare clothes at school for those wet or muddy days outside.
