Weekly Learning Journey: November 14-18th

 Hola families below is our weekly update: 

Spanish:
-We've been practicing describing what we see in the fall using color, size and quantity.

Math: 
-Skip counting by 2s to 20, 5s and 10s to 100. 
-We have started "Esti- Mysteries". Students make an estimation on how many objects are in a jar. We narrow down our estimations as we receive clues.  
-We conducted a survey and created a graph based on our favorite colors.
Ask me: What are the Esti-Mysteries? 

English:
-Letters and sounds: i, x, y, e, e
-We reviewed sight words.
-Below are a few ideas on how your child can practice the sight words at home.  

Social: About my school posters in progress 

Note:

Ask your child about Sound Kreations and the new dance moves that they are learning!

 

Please ensure that you have read the email about the AHS declared outbreak at Dalhousie.  If you have any questions, please email dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca.

 

Thank you to those families who have paid their fees for swimming, Sound Kreations or field trips.  Fees can be paid through your MyCBE account.  Prompt payment is appreciated as any unpaid fees impacts the programming that the school can offer.

Our virtual book fair starts today and can be accessed through this link.  Students will have an in-person opportunity to purchase books as well either during the day on November 22, 23, 24 or in the evening from 5-8 on November 24.

 

A reminder that conferences are being held next week on November 24 & 25.  Please see the separate email that was sent for information on how to book.

 

As a reminder around traffic safety, there is no parking or entering the school parking lot at any time. Please also be respectful and mindful of the parking, no stopping and Hug & Go zones around the school.   The Hug & Go Zone is meant for a vehicle to be there for under a minute.  Your child should be able to exit the vehicle independently and have their backpack with them in order to use this area.  The Hug & Go Zone is not meant as a waiting zone for families to pick up their child after school by remaining in their vehicle.    We continue to receive complaints from our neighbors regarding families who park in front of their garage is blocking access as well as reports of near misses. Safety over convenience it is not just a phrase. It needs to be a mindset and continued action. The Calgary Parking Authority as well as the Calgary Police Service will be coming out for education and enforcement. Dalhousie School has no ability or authority to have any in fractions and accompanying fines waived.  Thank you for collectively being conscious about traffic safety for our students, your children and our families, you

Adios 😊
