EES MTS: May 21-14, 2024

Dear Families,

It was another busy week in EES. We have shifted our learning theme from Farm Animals to another type of living thing... bugs! Students did reading, writing, and listening to stories that all focused on the theme of Bugs. We are working on the vocabulary that comes with this topic, such as 'crawl' and 'fly' as well as learning the names of some common bugs that we might see here in Canada.

In math, the students have been working on a variety of learning topics. Some students are focusing on subitizing, where they recognize a number of objects without having to count them. Others are focusing on money through practicing identifying coins and their value, as well as sorting these coins by their colour and size.

Despite the very rainy weather, we have managed to get outside for some outdoor learning at fun. The students have had the opportunity to explore plants and bugs that they find outside, as well as the chance to have a bit of extra playground time. The Grade 2/3 Spring Concert was held in the gym this week, which meant that we got to have our gym time outdoors! The dress rehearsal for the concert also gave us the opportunity to see some of the performance, which was a lot of fun.

The rain is likely to continue into next week, so please ensure that your child has weather appropriate gear for going outside, as we do go to the playground when it is wet. Boots, a jacket, rain pants, and extra clothes would be greatly appreciated.
