Thank you to our parents and school council for Teacher Appreciation treats! A fantastic way to start our morning! Thank you so much for thinking of us! @EdgemontCBE@edgemontcouncil
Gr3 Art: Students in Ms. S's class began weaving! Using the "Colours of Edgemont" as inspiration, students made thoughtful choices to weave into their piece. This project focuses on fine motor skills, careful observation, patterning and creativity. #Edgemontstrong@EdgemontCBE
If your child would like to contribute to poppy donations, we will have a collection jar in our classroom. Our virtual Remembrance Day ceremony will be on Tuesday, November 10 @EdgemontCBE
Thank-you Edgemont Parent Council for purchasing these break-away mask lanyards for all of our students! Grade 3 will be using them/leaving them at school so they are used to keep our masks safe and accessible while we are outside! @EdgemontCBE
Students may choose to wear Halloween costumes to school on Thursday October 29! We ask that students come dressed in their costumes (no changing at school). Please make sure they can still wear their face masks with their costumes. NO scary or violent costumes please!
It was great seeing students dressed for the weather today! We will be out daily for PE & engaging in learning on the land. Layers, warm mittens & a hat are necessary on those chilly days to engage in learning comfortably & safely. Snow pants & boots are great too! @EdgemontCBE
Last week we explored the world through creativity and imagination after the read aloud “Ish”. They created flower-ish, snake-ish, and dragon-ish pictures to name a few! Pictures will be used as part of our Imagination pocket writing later in the year!#edgemontstory
Today we continued documenting our biofacts as Scientific Illustrators and explore, “How are rocks and minerals part of the story of our collections?” As explorers what did we notice and wonder about our object? #EdgemontStory@EdgemontCBE
In class today we respectfully collected fallen biofacts from the land. Students noticed patterns, colours & textures, & can now greet many of our plant relatives by name. We are coming to know wolf willow, yarrow, rosehip & sage by looking closely & thinking deeply
Reminder that we have Phys Ed outside tomorrow morning. Please ensure your student is prepared for the always changing weather! Layers are a good idea for cooler mornings and warm afternoons. Mittens and toques are a good idea too!
We had a beautiful day and an amazing walking field trip learning on the land at Edgemont Ravine! We worked on vocabulary building through our sense. "The leaves are a golden yellow and amber shade." #EdgemontStory@EdgemontCBE
Please look for the important pink notice regarding Raz Kids that came home with your child today. Students are encouraged to read nightly and may choose to use their Raz Kids account to do so. More info on our stream! @EdgemontCBEp
