This week, we read the story "Creepy Carrots" and were inspired to create our own creepy carrots, practicing the parts of the face (ie. dos ojos/two eyes, una boca/one mouth, # dientes/# teeth). We've also been practicing using the sentence starter, "Yo tengo" (I have), in conjunction with the face part vocabulary.
We engaged in some great Halloween-themed math centers.
A reminder that Friday, October 28 is a non-instruction day with no school for all students.
Halloween
With Halloween coming up, students are invited to wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31. The costumes must be worn the whole day and must be appropriate for school environment meaning no violent or inappropriate content or messaging. Accessories such as swords, guns, knives, weapons etc. should not be brought to school. As costumes should not impede learning, we ask that no mask even if it’s a half face mask be worn to school. Those wanting to wear COVID masks are welcome to. Due to dietary restrictions and preferences, no food should be brought to school for sharing purposes. While well intended, other non-food treats should also be not brought to school (goodie/loot bags).
Starting on Monday, October 17, 2022 we will be collecting food/non-perishable items for the Veteran’s Food Drive. There will be boxes set up at the front and back door for food drop off. At Dalhousie School, we want to support Calgarians who are less fortunate than us, and one way we are doing this is through the Veteran’s Food Drive. This drive will run until after Remembrance Day. Items that the food bank is urgent need of are the following:
- Kleenex – tissue boxes
- Napkins
- Paper towel
- 1 litre juice cartons
- Juice boxes for lunches
- Cereal
- Coffee and coffee pods
- Pancake mix
- Laundry soap
- Granola bars
- Ziploc bags (medium and large)
- Fabric softener
- Rice packages
- Cookies
- Canned chili / stew
- Mayonnaise
- $25.00 grocery gift cards
