 Dear EES Families,

As usual, it has been a very busy week here in the EES classrooms!  We have been working on a lot of different learning skills, as well as enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.  Please continue to send in shorts, water and hats for students as we will continue to spend time outside when it is warm. 

In Language Arts we have been learning about bees and how they make honey.  The students have listened to songs and stories, sequenced letters and words, and have written sentences to talk about what bees look like, how they make honey, and what honey is.  In Math, some of our students have been working on addition and subtraction, and recognizing if they need to add or take away depending on the mathematical symbol and vocabulary that they see in the question.  Other students have been practicing recognizing, sorting and matching different 2D shapes, and noticing them in pictures and our environment.  

We have been very lucky for the last two weeks to have double gym each day!  We have had the opportunity to have gym time both in the morning and the afternoon, so that we could have fun in the gym in the morning and also get some fresh air and exercise outside after lunch.  

Since we have been learning about bees and honey, we just had to use honey as an ingredient in our cooking this week.  We made honey pancakes, which had honey mixed into the batter as well as drizzled on top - so yummy!  The students had the opportunity to practice following a recipe, measuring ingredients and mixing them together. 

We have been learning about different insects for several weeks, so our art has all been focused on these creatures.  We have made lots of different art pieces, such as ladybugs and bees, and this week we made some very hungry ants.  The students practiced cutting, gluing and placing their materials on a page to create some unique and beautiful pieces!

 Hello Families,

We had a short but busy week full of learning and fun!

Our students have been enjoying extra gym time, working on their movement skills, playing games, and building friendships. It’s been a great way for everyone to stay active and practice teamwork.



In Language Arts, we’ve been learning about Community Helpers - talking about the important people who help in our community, like firefighters, doctors, and police officers. The students loved sharing their ideas and learning new vocabulary.




In Math, we started exploring Canadian coins. The children have been practicing identifying coins, learning their names, values, and noticing the different pictures on each one.



We have also made the most of the beautiful weather by spending time outside in nature. The students had so much fun blowing bubbles, searching for insects, and enjoying sensory play in the fresh air.



Important Updates:

Transportation Registration - Registration for busing will start today. Please log in to your CBE Account to complete the online registration.

Fees will be added to your account in October.

 Hello EES families!

This week, we were finally be able to spent more time outside! Our PE, Science and even art classes were moved outside! We noticed the blossoms, green leaves and lots of bugs crawling on the field. We are so grateful for the opportunity to feel, see, and smell the spring.  

In language arts we learned about insects. Everyone loved playing guess the name of the bug at the end of the lesson. 




In math, we started to practice subtraction. Our students learned that subtraction means take away from the bigger number. Playing "popping" balloons game on the Smart Board helped to understand how the number changes when we subtract. 




In Science, after short presentation about insects, we went outside with magnifying glasses to look for bugs and crawlies! 









In a conclusion of this wonderful week, we created beautiful bees and ladybugs from paper and recycling materials.
