Division 10 has to quickly capture some March Moments as we won’t be returning until April, after Spring Break.

We are ready for Spring though and have made some Spring Signs to welcome in the new season. 

We will also gather as a grade 2/3 group of classes into the library to celebrate the Spring Equinox and acknowledge the seasonal cycle as we have done for Autumn and Winter.  As in Autumn, we are reaching a time in the year when the amount of daylight will equal the amount of darkness in this part of the world.  That is why we say that we are moving toward the Equinox, which takes place around March 21.  We will continue a journey of longer days until we reach the Summer Solstice in June.

Decade’s Day, today, hosted by our Clinton Leadership team, provided so many opportunities for us to lean into the stories of fashion and the reasons behind some fashion designs for the era they represent.  Fashion is a very important part of the Visual Art subject area and it was lovely to see so many Division 10 students participate in the Spirit Day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also had fun with some our Matter experiments, predicting and observing how solids sink and float. Today we made aluminum foil boats.  Our passengers were marbles.  Check out the results of our Sink or Float your Boat challenge in the classroom window.  Congratulations, Emma.

Tomorrow, we will board a bus with the rest of the Primary Choir and we will sing at the Primary Days Of Music at Confederation Park Elementary School.  It will be a full morning event.  The student voices have sounded so inspiring and uplifting when they have practiced together during 3 lunch times.

Report Cards will be coming home tomorrow.  Please sign the envelopes and return back to the school by Friday.  Students are asked to bring a reusable bag on Thursday so they can hang up all of their desk supplies over the break.  Other items will return home for a washing or size check and then should be returned back to the classroom.  Some students will also be bringing home a supply list of items to be replenished.

At this time, we also want to support those in our community who are celebrating Ramadan.  Happy Ramadan!

As we move toward Spring Break, we wish you all the luck of St. Patrick’s Day and the blessings of the Easter Weekend with family and friends.

Happy Spring!
