Dear EES Families,
Although this week has been very short, it has also been very busy and fun!
With Valentine's Day, Family Day, and Pink Shirt Day coming up, we have continued to focus on the theme of 'kindness' and how we can be kind to others. The students have continued to think about kind things that they can do, and trying to notice the kind things that others do for them. We have been writing sentences, sequencing words, making words, as well as listening to read alouds and songs all about kindness.
The students have also continued to learn about time, how to read analog clocks, and recognizing what things happen in our schedules at different times of day. We have been thinking about AM/PM, and trying to notice the difference between things that we do in the morning and the night. Some students are also working recognizing that the sun and moon can be seen at different times of day.
Students have been creating some beautiful pieces of Valentine's Day art, take a look at the pictures to see!
Important Information:
Jump Rope For Heart
We’re excited to share that every donation made to Jump Rope for Heart this February will be matched by a generous partner (up to $75,000) — doubling the impact of your support!
That means every contribution makes double the impact in supporting life-changing heart and brain research here in Canada.

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/
