Week 13!

Check out Elk Island Catholic Schools new app. This new tool will allow parents and students instant access to resources and information on their handheld phone or device.

EICS will be adding more features over the next few months with the goal of making this app a one-stop shop for key information and resources for EICS students and parents.

In late January, your child's first grade two progress report (report card) will be distributed digitally in a new format.  Before then, you can read about theses changes via Central Learning Services at this  link https://www.eics.ab.ca/parents-and-students/parent-resource-library

 In science we talked about the water cycle and we made water cycle bags for home.

 In math we learned some dice games that will help us grow our brains about numbers to 100.  These games can be played at home too!

When students work on writing each week in their classroom journal they reflect before they hand in their work to be sure they have met the target.  This is how they are assessed.  They are asked to review their assessment and address areas identified for growth in their next journal entry.

We had a visit from our high school reading buddies.

Please help your child remember to bring in their November READO sheets.  All students are given a new READO sheet at the start of the month.  Please remind your child to keep their READO sheet safe until the end of the month when it is due back to school.
