A Busy Week at CES

Check out all the pictures from the fabulous things that have been happening at CES this week. 

Kindergarten

The Kindergarten students partnered up with their Gr. 5 buddies to do some reading and play some literacy games.  The grade 4/5 students were great role models for the kindergarten students!

Grade Ones

The grade one students were kept busy with a visit from Mr. Popowich and his cute, fluffy chicks, a lesson from our Learning Coach on how to elaborate when writing and speaking, and a virtual author visit with Sue Friess who wrote "Mary Had a Little Lab".

Grade 2R Nature School    

The students worked together to clean up a small section of the school yard. They were surprised to find so much garbage in such a small section!  They continued to explore floating and sinking materials for science. Students found natural items, made a prediction and tested their item in puddles. Of course they found some insects and cool rocks along the way!    

Character Education Presentation

This Monday, April 17, Chris Koch will be at the school to present to the students.  He will share his message "If I Can".  To find out more about Chris and his message visit his website at www.ifican.ca.

The presentation to the Division 1 students will be from 10:20 - 10:50.  The presentation to the Division 2 students will be from 11:10 - 11:50.  Both presentations will be in the gym.
