Viernes el 4 de noviembre

 Hola hola Mariposas!

This morning we had our morning meeting as per usual. After our morning meeting we did Spanish writing about "en el otoño yo veo". In math we did a math test! After math we had nutrition break.

For art we read a Spanish story called "Mi propio color" (My very own color) about a chameleon who finds his own color and a friend. Then we worked on our very own chameleons for art! We had music then colored some more and now we are doing the blog and cleaning our classroom.

Feliz fin de semana!

REMINDER: It's daylight savings time this weekend. Fall back! We get an extra hour of sleep!

Parents: check your child's backpack for swimming certificates :)

Another Parent Update!

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).

School photos retakes were originally scheduled to happen on October 17 & 18 have been rescheduled to November 2 & 3.  If you would like your child to have photo retakes, please email your child's teacher to let them know. Class Photos will also happen on the November 2 for all classes with the exception of the Tuesday/Thursday Kindergarten group whose class photo will be taken on November 3.

Dalhousie students will have the opportunity to participate in a 6-day dance residency at school. Sound Kreations will be coming to dance with the students on November 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22. Our students will be participating in a program called CubaNYC where a Spanish speaking instructor will focus on teaching the students hip hop and Latin street dance moves. The cost of this residency will be $7.26 per student which can be paid through your MYCBE account.  This fee is in the process of being posted and you should see it in the next couple of weeks. We are excited to get our groove on, ask your child to see the moves they learned at school.
