Happy April

 Hello parents! 

It is already April and the school year is going so fast. March was quite the busy month and I happy to finally update you on what we have been doing so far in the classroom. Students has completed their Social Studies flip books which is available for viewing on your child's Iris account. It is nice to know that all students were able to identify their own homes. Please head over to to Iris to take a look!

This week, we have started planting our own beans in the classroom. We are now learning about living and non-living things as well as the differences between plants and animals. We had so much fun learning about the need of plants and animals to survive. We talked more specifically on water, sun and food for plants to survive. We then created our own bean plant cups and will track the growth of our beans for the next 14 days. 

In art this week, we worked on decorating boiled eggs and tried our best to keep the egg in one shape. Surprisingly, all the students were able to keep this promise! Check out some of the egg art which was done by the students in our classroom. They had so much focus and tried their very best to not crack the egg. We first boiled out eggs for 10 minutes, then we searched around the school for water colour crayons to give our eggs the best look. 

Friday was a very nice day. Students enjoyed eating snacks outside on the picnic tables, then engaged in chalk art on the school grounds with their peers. It was so nice seeing the students interact further with each other! 


This week, we will keep tracing the growth of our plants, focus on sorting plants and animals in the correct categories, and work more on rote counting as we get stronger with our numbers. Thank you for checking in!

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
