Dear EES Families,
It has certainly been another busy week in our classrooms! The students have continued to work very hard in their learning, while having lots of fun.
In Math, we have continued to work through a measurement unit. Students are focusing on noticing length using non-standard measurements, as well as matching and sorting items that are long and short. We are already seeing progress in these skills!
In Language Arts, the students have started to focus on St. Patrick’s Day and all things green! We have been writing sentences, building words, labelling pictures and recognizing new vocabulary. We have all enjoyed learning about St. Patrick’s Day through read alouds, songs and games.
The students continued on this seasonal theme in their Science and Art activities. We made ‘fizzy shamrocks’ through mixing baking soda with green paint to decorate shamrock shapes. The students practiced their fine motor skills through using spray bottles and pipettes to add vinegar to their shamrocks and see them exciting chemical reactions!
We ended the week with cooking and the students worked together to prepare St. Patrick’s Day fruit rainbow salad. So yummy, colourful, and healthy!

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/
