November 25-28, 2024

 Hello EES families!

It is so magical to see Winter is finally here! Even though, we had couple of "blue" days when we stayed inside and weren't able to go outside, we love watching snow falling and all the changes in the nature around us. Inspired be the beauty outside, we created our version of snowflakes and other winter themed art. 

In Language Arts, we practiced writing sentences about Winter and learning new words and sounds. 

In Math, we continued to focus on comparing numbers and counting using manipulatives. 

In Science, we explored melting/freezing points of snow. Observing the changes and disappearing of a snowball in the bowl of hot water was mesmerizing.  

Thank you for everyone who attended Parent-Teacher conferences! We were glad to see everyone and discuss progress and other topics with you. If you were unable to attend this time, please contact us and we can reschedule to another convenient for you time.  

Some important days and events:

Fun Lunch

The next Fun Lunch will be on Wednesday December 11.

Fun Lunch is only for grades 1-4 and our EES students.

Please make sure to send a morning snack with your child on Fun Lunch Days.

Holiday Celebrations

December is around the corner, and we have a number of Holiday Celebrations coming up at MTS.

The Magic of Christmas will return starting on Monday December 2. 

Every Christmas Eve, The Magic of Christmas loads up Calgary Transit buses that are magically transformed into “reindeer buses”, with hundreds of gifts and volunteers dressed as Santa and his elves.  Then they deliver Christmas spirit into the homes and hearts of those who need it most.  From December 2 to December 20, please bring in a new, unwrapped donation items (not food) and place them in the boxes located in the front foyer. 

Please see the attached wish list for ideas of items to donate.
