 Dear EES Families,

We have done a lot of learning and had a lot of fun this week at school!

The students are working on different skills while focusing on the theme of arctic animals. They have been matching and sorting pictures of different animals, writing words and sentences and using descriptive words in language arts. In science, the students have explored ‘icebergs’ with different arctic animals on theme to learn about how the animals live on the ice and how the ice can melt.  There has been some beautiful art created on this theme as we explore a different arctic animal each week. 

In math, students are learning about clocks and telling time. Some students are matching and recognizing analogue clocks.  Other students are practicing telling time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour! These skills are being reinforced through hands on activities, games and songs. 

Students had the opportunity to do some cooking this week. Some students made bagels, in honour of National Bagel Day, and some students made polar bear paw cookies to keep on the arctic animals theme. Everyone had the chance to practice mixing, and they also practiced measuring, shaping dough, and of course - tasting!

The weather is expected to be cold, please ensure that your child has enough warm clothes for outside (boots, hat, mittens, snow pants, coat, etc) and spare clothes to change into in the event that they get wet in the snow.
