November 4th update

 ¡Hola familias!

This week we worked on the following:

• In Spanish we have been working on our dictionaries and oral description of a scarecrow.
•  In ELAL we have continued to work on editing our writing and adding adjectives to our writing as well as daily fives.
• In science we have started our hot and cold unit and we completed an experiment  using water cups of different colours, a source of heat and thermometers. Please ask your child about it.
• In social studies we have learned about communities. Specifically we have started learning about an Acadian community.
• In math we have learned about part-part-whole as well as daily math.
• In health and wellness we have worked on skipping ropes individually and in groups.

Reminders:

Swimming certificates were sent home today. Please ask your child for it.

Daylight savings time ends this weekend! A reminder to turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy extra sleep.

A reminder that Friday, November 11, 2022 that there is no school due to Remembrance Day.

Dalhousie students will have the opportunity to participate in a 6-day dance residency at school. Sound Kreations will be coming to dance with the students on November 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22. Our students will be participating in a program called CubaNYC where a Spanish speaking instructor will focus on teaching the students hip hop and Latin street dance moves. The cost of this residency will be $7.26 per student and is posted your MyCBE account.  We are excited to get our groove on, ask your child to see the moves they learned at school.

 

The next set of Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on November 24 and 25.  Please watch for a separate email with information on how to book.

 

Dalhousie will be hosting a Scholastic book fair in November, with a virtual and in-person option.  The virtual fair will be active from November 18  – November 28, 2022 inclusive. Please check out the virtual link to preview and explore the digital flyer!  Students will also be able to purchase books and other items (posters/stationary etc.) in school. We will be doing a preview for each class and then the following week students will be allowed to purchase items using cash. Previews will be held November 15, 16, 17, and purchasing will occur November 22, 23, 24.   Additionally, the book fair will be open for all families on November 24 from 5pm to 8pm to coincide with conferences.  You do not need to have a conference that evening to visit the book fair.
