Kindergarten students had a very fun day last Monday, dressing up as cats and celebrating Pete the Cat Day.
The kids have celebrated his motto, “It’s all good,” and try to live by that motto every day at school.
The kindergarten family dance was held Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun.
Kindergarten classes have started their yellow brick road program on Mondays.
Kindergarten classes will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this week: KSN & KGB on Wednesday, and KKT and KDB on Thursday.
Students will be exchanging valentines during those celebrations. The five kindergarten classes will also be celebrating 100 days of school next week.
In commemoration of 100 days, Grade 1 students will mark the 100th day of school this Friday.
The 1JL class will spend the day doing math activities related to No. 100.
The 1TJ class will celebrate by doing various 100-day activities, including students bringing a collection of 100 things from home.
The 2SG class went to the hospital as part of the Stettler Elementary School’s “Kids in Conversation.” They recited many poems, sang some fun songs, and gave out valentines with chocolate hearts that they made.
It was a great experience and it was so nice to see both the students and the patients smiling!
Mrs. Andersson’s Grade 5 class is collecting pull tabs from students at SES to donate to the Ronald McDonald House in Red Deer. The program runs all year, so if you have pull tabs at home, feel free to bring them into the school for a donation.
This week, we had a huge donation made from Janaia and Colby Barclay. It was a box of pull tabs weighing 31 pounds. Way to go!
Last week, the book club did a wellness activity, as part of the larger wellness theme in our school. They learned some de-stressing techniques, as well as yoga and relaxation strategies.
Mrs. Pinder would like to thank all the families who took part in our Swap and Sale. More than 2,500 books were contributed. It was enjoyed by both shoppers and swappers!
Remember that this Thursday is red/pink day at SES to celebrate Valentine’s Day, so wear your favourite red or pink outfit.
