Hello everyone,
Here is your March update for Division 2. March is a short month, so this will be a short update! Two weeks until Spring Break!
Salmon in the School Update
On Tuesday, February 20th, our salmon eggs began hatching! Students in Division 2 managed to catch the show as the alevin emerged from their eggs. So far, all of our alevin are alive and thriving! They are learning to swim and spend most of their day hiding behind the rocks in the tank.
Here is a short video from the Seymour Hatchery showing salmon hatching:

Art Update
Dragon Eye Art
2D Shapes and Symmetry Art
This term in art, students have completed projects that work on understanding colour: warm colours, cool colours, complementary colours and contrasting colours. In January, students sketched and coloured a dragon eye, as part of our learning about Lunar New Year. In February, students completed art using their knowledge of 2D shapes and symmetry, which relates to our learning in Math.
Social Emotional Learning: Creativity and Resourcefulness
March’s SEL theme is creativity and resourcefulness. There are many ways everyone can be creative. We can be creative with how we use materials, our ideas, and how we express ourselves. This month will focus on thinking outside the box and using what we have around us.
Alice in Wonderland
On Friday, March 8th, Divisions 1 and 2 will be attending a production of Alice in Wonderland at Michael J Fox Theatre. We will leave school at 11:30 a.m. and will arrive back by 3:00 p.m. We will walk to and from this play. This experience is an extension of our learning in Arts Education and all students are expected to attend.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
