Hello EES families!
This week in our classroom, we enjoyed both an outdoor exploration and meaningful learning activities connected to the season.
We didn't want to miss the incredibly warm weather and began our week by heading out on a community walk to visit our Inukshuk playground. Along the way, students explored signs of spring, noticing the warm sunshine, melting snow, and early changes in nature. It was a wonderful opportunity to observe, discuss, and appreciate the environment around us.
In Language Arts, we focused on Earth Day through a variety of engaging activities. Students participated in writing exercises, interactive games, and discussions about how we can care for our planet. To connect our learning with action, students planted seeds and decorated their own pots, showing creativity while learning about responsibility and growth.
In Math, we worked on developing our addition skills using number lines. This hands-on strategy helped students better understand how numbers move and connect, building confidence in solving addition problems.
It has been a joyful and productive week filled with curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. We look forward to seeing our plants grow and continuing our exploration of the world around us!
