Today, we learned.../Hoy aprendimos...
In PE, we played Dr. Dodgeball. In Math, we learned a new multiplication strategy (number line) and combined all 4 strategies to do "la multiplicación del dÃa" (Multiplication of the Day). In Spanish, we focused on some directions (to the right of, to the left of, beside, in front of, behind) and we used a map to start writing some directions in Spanish (ex. La tienda de ropa esta entre el restaurante y el aeropuerto - The clothing store is in between the restaurant and the airport). In Social Studies, we learned about services in India. In ELAL, we did an analysis of Detective Zebra and what makes it a mystery.
We also have a new seating plan!
Notes from the Music Room...
The March concert is fast approaching. An email was sent to families with the dates and information pertaining to the concert, which will be held here at the school. Two nights of beautiful renditions of Latin American songs and Spanish songs performed by the talents and voices of our Dalhousie students. I for one can’t wait to show you what they have accomplished. Do send me a note letting me know if your child will not be present at the concert. For some songs the children are assigned instruments and partners. For children to find themselves without their partner on the night of the concert is terribly distressing and confusing, which leads to a not so pleasant concert experience.
Please go over past blogs to find the videos and lyrics to the songs the children are working on. Children who have taken the opportunity to work on the songs at home have taken great enjoyment and pride in singing them.

Pink Shirt Day will be on February 22. Everyone is encouraged to wear pink as a symbol of kindness.
We have our ongoing Food Drive as part of Kindness month. Donations are gratefully accepted in the donation boxes found at either the front or the back doors of the school.
The 100th Day is upon us! Dalhousie is very excited to dedicate our upcoming Spirit Day to the 100th Day of School in the 2022-2023 School Year! To share in this celebration, students are encouraged to imagine what they might look like as 100 year old’s and come to school dressed as such on Friday, February 24th. Classroom ventures throughout the day may include math-related activities focusing on the number 100, poetry, writing activities, and art representing and recreating the number 100 in variety of ways. Please encourage your child to dress up for the occasion and brain-storm other ways to think of and represent 100. We are very excited to reach this milestone and want to spread the spirit throughout our school.
Please see the separate email sent out regarding our Celebration of Learning. Booking details will follow. At the same time as our Celebration of Learning, we will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair. We hope to see you there for both events!
