We had a short week last week at Stettler Elementary School, due to the Family Day holiday on Feb. 18.
The 2SG class performed four fairytale plays for parents on Friday. The students have been working very hard, but it has been lots of fun, too! They were very excited to do their performances.
The book club is planning on a whole school literacy activity over the next few weeks. The book club will introduce their activity and Mrs. van Ringen’s class has been very busy learning about rocks and minerals. They had a very “hands-on” week as they learned about igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
Students put on their “geologist” hats as they used their special tools to mine through cookies looking for “precious gems.”
Then it was on to creating their own volcano models. Students took much pleasure in erupting their volcanoes!
Their appetite for learning continued to grow as students made and ate their own “healthy” sedimentary sandwiches. That’s taking a bite out of learning!
SES would like to welcome three student-teachers to our school. Laura McTaggart is working with Miss. Watts in Grade 4. Sarah Sadegian is working with Mrs. Fox in Grade 5 and Kobi Olineck is working with Mrs. Starling in Grade 3.
Sarah and Laura come to us from the University of Alberta and Kobi is from the CUC in Lacombe.
All three women are doing their nine-week advanced placement. We are glad to have them here at SES!
