Getting In The Routine! YAY

Hello! 

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week! Thank you for attending the open house! I hope the information that was provided was beneficial and created some comfort for the school year. 

This week was a busy week for us, getting used to the routine, changes, and a new face in the classroom. We have been working on new literacy/ numeracy and life skills in the classroom. We have also started fine motor, where students are able to practice different skills such as transferring objects to the opposite hand, placing pegs on a peg board, placing clothespins on a line, and colouring within the boundaries. It has been a challenge, but we are always up for a good challenge! 
This week, we have also worked on literacy skills. Since this is only the end of the second week. I am observing how students does does in this area. We have enjoyed our literacy times by watching engaging songs on the otters of the alphabet, we have also started to be involved in interactive activities on the Smart board in tracing and trouncing the first letter of a name, item or place. We  have also went ahead to create our alphabet letter dinosaurs! 














In knowing that this is ONLY the end of the second week, students has been doing amazing well. Communication will always be a goal to area on is any setting. Therefore, including interactive activities such as "Make A Cake" where student go up to the smart board one at a time, and has the choice of choosing which item they would like on their cake. This been successful all week. 



 


As a team, we are taking it one step at a time. We are getting in the new routine, and the students have been doing well with the new changes. I am happy with how things are going so far, and i am looking forward to a another new successful week. 

Upcoming Events for the week!

Every year on September 30th, people across Canada wear orange and participate in Orange Shirt Day events to recognize and raise awareness about the history and legacies of the residential school system in Canada. Since September 30th will be no school, to support this, we are asking students and the school community to wear an Orange Shirt on Wednesday September 29th. Thank you!

 Hello parents,  The last day of school is on Tuesday June 28th.  Hello parents! This closing of one door and the opening of another. I want to thank each child for all the warmth, the memories, and the learning that we have shared this school year. To my students, I say THANK YOU! For when I teach, I also learn. This past year, we have grown together, played together, and in all, we are one big family. Regardless if you are leaving and on to great things for the upcoming year, or if you will be back for September. We are still a big family. A little bit of each of you will always be with me. Always strive to be the BEST that you can be! To the parents, I say THANK YOU for allowing me to be your child's teacher. It has been a wonderful and rewarding year for me.  Have a great summer, and to those who are leaving, I hope to keep in touch.  -Mrs.Shenae Parents, report cards will be available on June 28th.  Thank you.

Welcome back!

These first two weeks back at school have been busy and exciting! We have mostly been getting to know one another, as we have some new staff and students in our EES classrooms. We have also been focusing on learning the new classroom routines and expectations. Our students are learning about the daily schedule by sitting at their table groups to go over our large visual schedule, both first thing in the morning and after lunch. Throughout the day some students are asking questions about what is coming up next, so they are learning to reference the schedule during these times. Our days look mostly the same, as predictability and structure helps our students remain regulated, with some changes to the schedule if we have gym or music class. We have been impressed with how well the students have been doing when coming together as a whole group to do our calendar time! From day one the students have understood the expectations around sitting as a group in front of the Smartboard- WOW!  Beca

Since the last post, we have welcomed a new friend in the classroom and we have been so excited to see a new face in the classroom environment!  In Science, we have started to learn all about the butterfly life span. We are currently awaiting our caterpillars to arrive, but we have been introduces to learning what is a butterfly, what do they look like, and the lifespan from an egg to an adult. Students' tasks were to cut and paste the butterfly life span in order from an egg to an adult.  In math, we are practicing numbers to objects. Students have been using the online website called "Boom Cards" which is an interactive website that allows students to come up and practice their math/ LA etc goals as whole group, small group, and individual work times.  Additionally, we have been going on community walks to practice our road safety on the stree
