 Hello EES families!

We've been waiting for it for so long, and finally it has arrived! This week we've got SNOW! What an excitement it was to see, feel and play outside! Just friendly reminder, please send changing set of clothes (including socks) for your child, as we might need it after going outside and playing in the snow. Also, the weather is very unpredictable in Calgary, and it can be very cold. Please, send appropriate winter set of clothes, hats, mittens and snow pants. 

 

Another exciting and important event we had this week, it is having a very special guest visiting our school and our program. We were honoured to meet with Hal Eagletail, the Indigenous Knowledge Keeper.  He is well known in Alberta for being an advocate for Indigenous learning and has been active in CBE schools for several years. Mr. Eagletail met with our students, sang traditional songs, told stories, and taught our students special drum beats. We loved learning from Hal Eagletail and hope he will visit us again!

In Language Arts,  we continued learning opposites and discovering how different objects can change from big to small, from short to long, as well as practicing our reading and writing skills  by learning new words.

In UFLI, we've focused on short O, CVC words with Letter O and practiced reading and writing new words.

In Life skills lessons, our students have learned about teeth health, steps and sequences of brushing teeth. It was fun to try and implement our newly learned skills on a dental teeth model.

The Magic of Christmas

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 now to December 18, students and staff can 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.
