March 8

 Hello EES family!

It is hard to believe, we are less than two weeks before Spring Break! It's been a busy week in EES!

We started to learn about opposites in Language Arts. Our students practiced identify and match opposites through games and writing activities. 

In Math, we continued learning about weight and compared heavy and light objects.

In Art, we had fun exploring different techniques and materials while creating Day and Night collage.

But most fun, we had in Science where our learners investigated light and how it behaves in various ways. In particular, how light is bending as it travels from one material to another (refraction).

This week, we also celebrated a Chocolate Cookie Day with sweet and tasty homemade cookies!

Important dates to remember:
