The Morning Meeting is a crucial daily ritual for the children that integrates and solidifies their social and academic learning and their sense of belonging; it is a 'foundation for every lesson, every transition time, every lining-up, every upset and conflict, all day and all year long.’ (Kriete, 2002).
Happy Loy Kratong!
Our Y6 children gave a beautiful Thai musical performance with the drum and khim followed by our Y3 children who elegantly performed traditional Thai dances. K1 children began the finale, the Rum Won Loy dance and Loy Krathong song, with all the children joining in the celebrations. We wish all our ELC families a joyous Loy Krathong!
Mathematics lends itself to connections in all areas of learning. Inspired by the story ‘The Toys’ Party’, Year one children explored the elements of planning a party themselves.
ELC follows the new Ontario Curriculum (2020), which incorporates six learning strands: social emotional learning skills in Mathematics and Mathematical processes; Number; Algebra (coding); Data; Spatial Sense (measurement), and Financial literacy.
Before the mid-term break, ELC children enjoyed their first Fun Field Day in three years! Gathered together in mixed year group teams, the children participated in a range of collaborative and competitive games such as rock climbing, go fishing, and more.
At ELC, your children know all about the importance of this word, ‘yet’; it is a word that encourages learning, builds confidence, sustains engagement, and empowers - it is part of the mental architecture for a ‘growth mindset.’
