Life Long Learning

 Hello families! 

Thank you for checking in for this week's blog. For the last 2 weeks, we have been working on primary and secondary colours. We engaged in many different experiments like the skittles experiment, walking water experiment and experimenting with different colours that are not primary and secondary colours. We also participated in mixing colours with paint, and food colouring and came to a conclusion that paint mixes better than food colouring. We also concluded that hot water creates a faster effect than cold water as we performed out skittles experiment. Check out some of the pictures below!

In gym, we have been working on gymnastics! Students found out how flexible they really are as they participated in gymnastics moves like: rolling, crawling, jumping, different forms of stretches etc. We were all surprised on what we can and cannot do. 

This was was also Pink Shirt day! Thank you parents for allowing your child to wear pink on this special day. As a class, we talking a lot about kindness, politely saying no, using kind words when we are frustrated, walking away from a situation we are uncomfortable with, and much more. We then engaged in an art activity where we were able to colour pink hearts, and wrote words/ sentences on our sheet of paper on being kind. We then decorated our classroom door with our art work.


Thank you parents for your continued support! I am looking forward in meeting you all for the second round of our parent teachers conferences.

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
