Today the children got to preview the book fair. It will be open all week for the children to purchase items. If you would like to send some money for your child to purchase an item, please send it in a label bag or envelope. There is a book fair handout that went home today in the folders with all the information about it. 

EHS BOOK FAIR INFO

AM Kindergarten had music and gym. PM Kindergarten went to the fire station.

We read, "The Color Monster" and talked about different emotions. We talked about how we were feeling today and then did a guided drawing of a colour monster with a sharpie. We will be using oil pastels to colour the monsters based on how we are feeling. We talked about how colors can sometimes represent different feelings and emotions. 

Picture orders went home with children today, please check your child's backpack. 

Family Photos

We have been talking about our families at school.  If you are able to send us a family photo of your family that we can hang on a bulletin board at school we would appreciate it.  We will hang up any family photos we get at school in our display and return the photos to you in early December.  Many thanks for considering our request. We will continue to explore how families come in many different shapes and sizes.  


If you haven't already done so, please sign up for a conference with your child's teacher. 

Families are invited to sign up for in-person Learning Community Conferences - an opportunity for parents, learners and teachers to meet together to share where each learner is at in their current learning. Here are the key details:

  • Appointments will be able to be booked through your MyCBE account starting on Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 AM.
  • We ask that you please have your children come along with you to your conference to help build their engagement in thinking about their own learning. Teachers will also share samples of current learning to help describe strengths and challenges that each learner is working on.

Today was a great day at school.  We learned about the letter N. We read " The Nicest Newt" and had to find all the words that began with N. We learned the jolly phonics song for N and practiced the actions for all the letters we have been learning. (S, A, T, I, P, N) We practiced printing the letter N in our printing journals. The AM classes had gym and music.  Please ask your child what they did. PM class went to gym and did stations to practice skills such as catching, throwing, kicking and target practice.  We are very lucky to have some new centers to play with!  Thank you to the casino funds for allowing us to purchase the new toys.  The kinders loved playing the new cooperative game "Hoot Owl Hoot" and playing with the magnatiles.
