Dear Parents,

After careful consideration, we are prepared to offer a modified version of our EHS Peace Ambassadors leadership team this year.  Please read the attached information to learn more about how we plan to proceed.  If your child would like to participate with your permission, please complete the form and return directly to Mrs. Zwack at  ajzwack@cbe.ab.ca .  If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Zwack rather than your classroom teacher.

Mrs. Zwack and the Peace Ambassador Team

We started our day today with chapters 16-25 of The Wild Robot.  The students were shocked by another cliffhanger ending to the chapter.  After reading, the students were given the task to debate "Do robots have feelings".  Some students were assigned the argument that they do not and the others were assigned the argument that they do.  The students worked with their colour group to come up with  points to defend their argument. 

The students have been working hard this week to complete work to share with you during conferences.  They are uploading artifacts to their Iris accounts and working on adding to their Google Slides.  For many students this is their first time working with Google Slides without parent support so there is a lot of trial and error.  We talked about being in the "scribble" where you're working through difficult challenges with a growth mindset.

This afternoon, Miss Shivi taught Mrs. Cox's class a lesson on short and long vowel sounds.  They worked through sorting words into either category before they began their Words Their Way work.
