Thursday November 26

Tomorrow is AM Kindergarten Friday.  The AM children will be painting tomorrow.  Please do not wear your best clothes to school ... painting can be messy!

Today we talked about Superheroes and how superheroes are unique just like each one of us is unique.  We read the story What's My Superpower. We drew pictures in our journal of what we would look like if we were superheroes.








We had music with Mrs. Coulson.  Please ask your child what they did in the music room.

The AM children had their first fire drill practice today.  Please ask your child what we do in a fire drill.  We stayed outside to play after the fire drill.  The PM children went to the playground with Mr. Der.

Families Helping Families

As is our tradition at Eric Harvie School, again this year we are calling on your kindness and generosity to help support a family in need at Christmas. This year, we will be supporting 10 families at Colonel Fred J. Scott School who may need a little extra help to make Christmas brighter. While in past years we asked for specific gift donations for individual family members, due to the pandemic, this year will look different.

This year we are asking for monetary donations. These donations will purchase a variety of gift cards (eg. Walmart, Superstore, Safeway) and small stocking stuffers gifted to each member of the 10 families in a stocking. Parent Council has generously offered their support by collecting the money via direct deposit and helping purchase the gifts.

Donations can be made via at ehsestreasurer@gmail.com (No password required.) and are welcomed on or before Monday November 30, 2020.

In the spirit of giving this holiday season, all staff at Eric Harvie School would like to thank families in advance for their contributions and making a family’s Christmas a little brighter!! Thank you also to our Parent Council for their support with this peace initiative.

Kindergarten – AM will be supporting…

Family #1: Mom/Grandma, Mom, Dad, Child 1(age 8), Child 2 (age 5), Child 3 (age 7), Child 4 (age 9) and Child 5 (age 2)

Kindergarten PM will be supporting…

This morning was Sports day for the AM kindergarten. We had fun at 7 different stations in the hub and gym. Ask your child about their favourite station. PM kindergarten will have sports day tomorrow. They can wear "rainbow " colours.  We read the story, The Night Before First Grade and talked about how we are feeling about going into Grade 1 and what we are excited most about. We drew pictures in our visual journals. Ask your child how they are feeling and what they are most looking forward to. We watched parts of the EHS talent show. We are amazed by all the talents of the students in the school! We played cooperative games and had centers. AM kindergarten brought all of the school items home today.
