Some students have shared their All About Me project.  So far, we have families from Ukraine and Grenada/Antigua.  Check out my new head piece!  I'm all ready for Carnival.


We also worked on some challenges such as building a house big enough for a stuffed reindeer or snowman to fit into.

We opened a tree decoration center, and a school center.


We also began new Literacy Centers in English.




Friday is Crazy Hat day, if your child would like to participate!

If anyone is ready/willing to share their All About Me project next week, please let me know.

Please remember to send a family picture to school with your child as soon as possible.  These will be returned in the New Year.

Check out our new math centers we began working on this week!




In Language Arts, we are reading stories by Jan Brett and making predictions about what will happen next, as well as discussing the beginning, middle and ending of stories.  We are using the Lively Letters program to learn about letter sounds, as well as the Heggerty program to develop phonological awareness skills such as rhyming, compound words, initial/ending sounds etc.

In Spanish, we are learning these new songs.

This year Dalhousie School has decided to give back to the community by participating in the Salvation Army Toy Angel Drive. This toy drive is designed to bring cheer to low-income families with children aged 0-12. A box has been set up in the main office to collect donations. If you would like to contribute please bring your unwrapped toys into the office before noon on 15 December 2022.

 

We are in the last month before Winter Break.  A reminder that if your child will be absent for 5 days or more due to a holiday, an extended absence form must be filled out.  Please email dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca to request the form and have it submitted before your child’s absence.
