 Dear EES families!

It was a beautiful last week of February. We are so happy to finally see some of that snow melting! Spring is in the air and we got to enjoy the amazing sunshine every time we went outside. This week we had a very special guest, Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Hal Eagletail. He sang traditional songs, shared stories, and talked about animals, nature, and the weather changes. Our students were thrilled to see him again. They were dancing, singing, and playing the drum with Mr. Eagletail. 

 

In Language Arts, we learned about kindness and friendship through songs, writing and matching activities. This whole week was about celebration of the Pink Shirt Day and the story behind this. 

In Math, we started a measurement unit. We are learning about the metric system and where we can apply it in real life. We measured our palms and feet with a ruler. Now, we are ready to shop for shoes!

We also learned to compare sizes, distinguish between and use terms "long" and "short".

Important reminders and dates:

Food Support

Did you know that the Breakfast Club of Canada has shared research demonstrating that 40% of Alberta’s children experience food insecurity?  This means that 4 out of 10 children do not have access to food when they are hungry. 

If your family is experiencing challenges with providing food for your children you can find help at Brown Bagging Calgary. 

Complete this form for support and they can deliver lunches to McKenzie Towne School for your children. https://go.bb4ck.org/l/858913/2024-01-15/38fdbw You can also find out more information on their website https://bb4ck.org/
