Dear Parents,

Your children spent a large portion of this week thinking about their families.  The words they chose and the drawings they made were heartfelt and filled with effort.  Of course, we kept it in a fish/ocean theme.  If they haven’t already, please ask them for the card.  It should be in their backpack.

It was a spectacular day for all of us.  A sincere thank you to all the parents who drove and stayed with us all day to supervise.

Dear Families,

It took awhile to get the blog going. Some of the problem was technical, some was about finding time.  Hopefully, in addition to current photos, I’ll be able to post some past photos as well. I’m always surprised to see how much the students have grown through the year.  I took pictures of all the tables of students, but they didn’t turn out.  They were dark and dingy.  If any of the parents who came along wish to send me some added photos, I will post some of those as well.

The first post are photos of our Bowling Field Trip to Rev’s.

What a grand science exploration!

The students were amazing and curious! But, we all

smell a bit like fish!

Today, Div. 7, released our salmon fry. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and it was a delight to send off the fry we have been raising since early January. We have 3 lessons to go in this unit. Firstly, we will be talking about their life expectancy now that they’re in the wild.  Secondly, we will be writing the last chapter in their Diary of a Soon To Be Salmon novel, and in Science, I will be dissecting a salmon and doing a close external examination of this fish.  Your children have been wonderful stewards of our salmon babies.  They have followed all the rules and procedures for testing PH and ammonia levels in the tank as well as feeding on schedule and in the correct quantities.  See photos below.  A thank you to the parents who walked with us.

Have a safe, happy, and restful, Spring Break!

If you haven’t already, please bring back the yellow goal setting duotang.  April showers bring May flowers, so please also send your child back with their indoor shoes and some extra clothing in case of falls in the mud!

As I understand it, the The Lunar New Year is a time for renewal and celebration, and I hope you find moments to share with loved ones, create beautiful memories, and embrace new opportunities in the months ahead.  May this year bring an abundance of joy, good health, prosperity, and togetherness to your homes.

This week, as we discussed topics for Remembrance Day, we have had quite a few serious conversations in Div. 7.  During all these conversations and our solemn assembly today, your children showed maturity and understanding.  They have been thoughtful and respectful throughout.  It has been a sombre pleasure to have shared our feelings on peace and sacrifice.   This past week, Div. 7’s students did a wonderful job of honouring those who gave their lives to serve our country.
