Christmas Break

 Hello all, 

Christmas break is finally here and it is now time to take a breath, and enjoy precious time with our loved ones. This week was filled with giving and receiving little things that means well to each other. Our second EES teacher - Mr. Hogan, brought in a game so that we could play with one another before we start our Christmas break. We had so much fun as we worked on turn taking, and waiting patiently.


We also did many types of Christmas art this week. We made a type of present art where students were able to make AB patterns, while also working on their gluing, pasting and cutting skills. Check out the picture the below on the final outcome. We also made a Christmas tree art where we spelt out names to create our trees, of course, with the star on top. 


Lastly, we worked on fine motor as we handed out different forms of activities to help with students zipping, buttoning, tying their personal items like - zipping up their bag-packs, tying their show laces, or buttoning their sweaters. 


As mentioned in my email, I will not be available over the winter break, however will be still have access to my emails/ the remind app. But, responses may take longer. I wish everyone a great holiday and I will see you on when we return on January 4. 

Thank you all for your continued support as I stepped into my new role in the EES program.

End of Year

 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

 Hello parents! It has been a while since the last blog post. A lot has happened within the last few weeks but very few changes. 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
