This week we have been discussing Indigenous peoples' connection to nature and the land. We journaled something that Mother Earth gives us. 

We continue to practice the weather in Spanish:
- está soleado (it is sunny)
- está nublado (it is cloudy)
- está lluvioso (it is rainy)
- está ventoso (it is windy)
- está nevando (it is snowing)

We completed tulip art, using paint and fork prints. Look at the beautiful Spring art below!

This week, we journaled our favourite season. We continue to work on simple sentence writing, being aware of beginning our sentences with an uppercase, spacing between words, and using punctuation. 

In math, we created pizzas using three different toppings, with 10 pieces in total on the pizza. The children had to show their combination of toppings in two different ways.

For Earth day, we created an Earth, using coffee filters, markers and water. Check it out!

We have been practicing the follow sight words: the, in, it, is, a. 

Updates/ Reminders April 14

 Yearbook: Deadline to purchase a yearbook is Friday, April 28. The cost is $21. If you want to purchase additional books per student, please contact the office Dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca  It is an optional purchase and can be paid for through your MyCBE account.

 

With the change in weather conditions, please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for the weather and any changes in weather.  Additionally, please send an extra change of clothes with your child to school to be kept in their backpack.  This should include a top, a bottom, change of socks and underwear.  Recess and lunch is a great opportunity for fun and play in the snow and slush, resulting in wet clothing. The office has a very limited supply of clothes.  Thank you for helping us keeping your child happy and dry.

 

We are so excited to have parent volunteers back in the classrooms! Please ensure your police clearance has been correctly uploaded prior to signing up for one of the many volunteer opportunities.

This week, we graphed our favourite pizza toppings. We then put the results in order according to popularity. The children were given the words in Spanish to label each topping, using their knowledge of letter sounds and some letters in Spanish. 

We are learning the seasons song in Spanish, and talking about what Spring looks like. We illustrated ourselves in a way that depicts "Yo tengo calor" (I am hot) and "Yo tengo frío" (I am cold).

The Weather- Spanish with Johanna

We shared and journaled something we did over the Spring break. The children continue to use their knowledge of letter sounds to add "kid spelling" to their pictures. We are being mindful of using lowercase letters.

We've been continuing with fruit vocabulary, including the colour of the fruit we like. For example, the children have been saying, "Me gusta la manzana roja... Me gusta el limón amarillo" (I like red apples... I like yellow lemons). 

We are exploring ways to make 10. This week, we used two or three dice to draw as many combinations of 10 as possible.

A reminder that there is no school on Friday, April 7 (Good Friday), as well as Monday, April 10 (PD day).
