We started off on Monday with a Zoom Presentation on Fresh Water in Metro Vancouver<\/strong>.\u00a0 It was put on by the Green Bricks Education Society and was very well done.\u00a0 \u00a0The amount of information we took away was heartening. The care and management of our public freshwater infrastructure left me with pride.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After reviewing what we learned, each student was asked to write 3 facts that were new to them and\/or made an impression.\u00a0 I will be uploading those to their blogfolios shortly.<\/p>\n

Then… our salmon eggs hatched!\u00a0 We now have alevin exploring the bottom of the tank (can’t swim any higher).\u00a0 The kids are super excited.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following that exciting event, came our exploration of the Asian Lunar New Year.<\/p>\n

We read PoPo’s Lucky Chinese New Year<\/em> by Virginia Loh-Hagan and watched a video on Seollal, the Korean name for Lunar New Year.\u00a0 On Thursday, we dressed in red and traditional clothing (Hanbok).\u00a0 They received a red envelope with ‘chocolate money’ and a few other traditional treats.\u00a0 It was a lot of fun to share knowledge and happiness as these are important traditional holidays for many of our students, and what better activity in a Covid Year but to appreciate being together.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, we celebrated Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the parents who sent Valentine’s cards.\u00a0 In our social-emotional learning, we have watched a few videos on gratitude sent to us by Mrs. Blair, our school counselor.\u00a0 The students understand that giving is a source of happiness and the Valentine cards you sent, let us put action to those emotions.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Have a great long weekend!<\/p>\n
