Tuesday February 22

Today we started our morning with new arrival centers and we exchanged our home reading. Please return your books on Thursday. Happy Reading :) We thank your for all your support in your child's reading at home. 

Ms. G and Ms. Mach continued to teach our learners about 2D shapes. We found shapes in books and around our school.

We looked at the letter W and the sound it makes. We practiced printing the letter and drew and wrote out words that begin with W. Can you find things at home that begin with W?

All groups had music today. 

Friday is AM Kindergarten. 


                    PINK SHIRT DAY is tomorrow. You are invited to wear PINK !

On February 23rd we are inviting students to wear pink shirts in support of this year's Pink Shirt Day theme: LIFT EACH OTHER UP! This year's theme focuses on having respect and inclusion for all. We will be encouraging spreading kindness and building healthy relationships at EHS. 

Pink Shirt Day is February 23, 2022. Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. It has since been recognized annually worldwide as a day to stand against bullying.

This year’s theme, #BeKindAB, encourages Albertans to be inclusive, welcoming and supportive with colleagues, clients, friends and family. Building healthy relationships is one of the best ways to prevent bullying and create safe environments. Getting involved is easy. Wear your pink shirt, take a photo and share it on social media with the #PinkShirtDay and #BeKindAB hashtags (https://www.alberta.ca/pink-shirt-day-alberta.aspx).

AM kindergarten looked fantastic all dressed up for Halloween! We had a fun day at school.  Today we were Scientists and took a closer look at pumpkins. We watched a video from Sci Kids about pumpkin dissection and learned about all the parts of a pumpkin. We learned about estimation and had to estimate about the height of a pumpkin using cubes, the circumference of a pumpkin using string and estimated the number of ribs on the pumpkin. We then measured to see how accurate we were with our guesses. We worked in groups.  Our last job was to predict what would happen when we placed a pumpkin in water. Would it sink or float? We used tally marks to share our thinking. Ask your child what happened when we placed the pumpkin in water.  We read the story, "The Happy Pumpkin" and talked about jack o lanterns and the different faces. We made our own pumpkins using paper.  We had music with Mrs. Coulson.  Friday is PM kindergarten. PM kindergarten are invited to wear the...

Today we exchanged home reading. Your child took home 2 books to read this week. Please return them on Thursday. We are looking at poetry in our class. We read the story, "Hello Ocean" and had to think of one word to describe the ocean. We made a list and talked about using descriptive words to speak about the ocean. We used our 5 senses to help us describe the ocean and created a class poem. We will be focusing on creating ocean creature poems over the next few weeks in class.  We played bump in math. It is a game that focuses on counting on from the biggest number using dice.  AM Kindergarten and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music. Mr. Campbell's class had gym.
