Class Work/Trabajo en clase
In Math, we had our fractions quiz on Tuesday and then moved on to perimeter. So far the students have learned what perimeter is (the total distance around a shape) and how to calculate it (adding up all the sides of the shape). Next week, we will continue to focus on this and how to calculate the perimeter when side lengths are missing. In Spanish, we are focusing on "La luz de Lucia" to prepare to do some reader's theatre with the book. In English, we learned about cinquains, diamantes and we got the chance to go outside on the school grounds for some nature inspired free verse poetry. In Social, we are wrapping up with Chapter 5 about the environments of Peru, Tunisia, India and Ukraine and next week, we will be starting Global Citizenship as our final unit. In Science, we started our testing labs and soon, we will be moving into our final project for the year. In Wellness, we've been talking about courage and will soon be starting our art in relation to the Bear. In PE, we've been working on our soccer skills and we had our first inline skating class on Friday. Next week, we will be focusing on frisbee skills.

Dalhousie School News Updates
A reminder that due to the Alberta Election on Monday, May 29th there is no school for students as many schools are being used as polling stations.
Inline Skating
The first week of inline skating has been awesome! Thanks to all the volunteers who have been helping the younger students put on and take off their equipment. The atmosphere during this activity is so positive with some music playing in the background while the students learn and practice their skating skills.
Arbour Day Trees
Every year grade 1 students are given a tree on Arbour Day. This year we received more trees than we needed, so now that all our grade 1 students have received their tree, we are pleased to offer the rest of them to anybody who would like a tree or two (or more). If you are interested, please email Rebecca (reconrad@cbe.ab.ca) with how many you would like. There are about 20 trees to give away.
Coyote Sighting
We recently had a coyote sighting on the school grounds before school on Thursday morning. The animal was not acting territorial and left immediately when school administration scared it off. The city of Calgary has been notified and they told us that they have a city contractor in the area managing the situation. They wanted us to let the community know that if you see a coyote in the area to call 311 and report it as this will help them determine how they monitor and respond to the situation.
