Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 12!

Cruz was our Star Student this week!
More hard work on Lexia this week!
We worked on another measurement activity using the non-standard unit of a paperclip.
 We used one paperclip to estimate the width of our tables and multiple copies to measure.


 Encourage your child to use other non-standard units of measurement(macaroni, spoons, pens) to measure things around your home.
 In social we worked on a mapping activity.
 We identified our school, neighbourhood, city, province, country, continent and planet.  We then wrote about this and took some time to draw pictures to further explain what we wrote.  We will be bringing them home to share this coming week.



 We celebrated the feast of Christ the King this week by making crowns.
 We celebrated Movember and supported Mr.  Molzan's efforts of raising money for charity.  We discovered that having a moustache is very itchy and tickly.






We built and tested our water crafts this week.  The students were tasked with building a water craft that could float, carry cargo and move through the water without being pushed by hand.  

A reminder of our bell schedule which can also be found on the school website.  We start our learning at 8:45am.  
2H will be leading the assembly next week and each student will be given a part.  Words will be sent home on Monday to practice at home while we will also be practicing at school.  Please support your child as they practice so they feel confident and prepared to share with the school at assembly.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at 780 998 7777 or lesleyh@eics.ab.ca
