Warm Feet and Hands
This week, the Eric Harvie Peace Ambassadors are collecting warm, new or gently used, adult sized socks and hats for Calgary's homeless. After our recent cold spell, supplies are low at our city's shelters and we want to help to fill them back up before the next cold snap hits. There are collection bins and a display in the hub where students can drop off donations during ignite time each day.
Please ensure:
- socks are ADULT sizes
- gently used socks and hats are washed and do not have any holes
- socks are rolled into pairs
- they are high enough to cover cold ankles
Peace Ambassadors will be at our upcoming Sock Hop on Thursday evening to take donations as well!
If you would prefer to donate to our coin collection, Mrs. Zwack will happily purchase socks and hats.
Thank you for supporting our Warm Feet and Heads project!
Week 2 Swimming is from February 3-7th. Please see previous blog post for additional information.

Report Cards
This is the very first time at EHS that report cards will not be printed but shared online through PowerSchool. They will be available on January 30th and will look the same as they did in the past. Please follow this link for additional information on how to access them.
Some highlights from our day:
Ignite:
Students worked collaboratively on art and building projects today to help them get ready for learning. Take a look at the photos below.
Literacy:
Students continued to rotate through stations today to be introduced a different way of planning out a narrative. Just like yesterday, students were either learning how to use sticky notes, a felt board, loose parts or create art cards to plan out a story. Students also practiced telling their stories orally, making sure to add interesting details.
Inquiry:
Group A continued to learn about the past of the NW coastal region and Vancouver Island. We found out that James Cook sailed to the Island on a ship in the 1700s. We did a guided drawing of this type of ship to show how transportation changes through time. We will continue to explore changes in transportation and building over time.
Group B learned about different animals in the arctic region. Some students learned about sea ottters and that they eat plants like seaweed and animals such as fish, shrimp and crab.
