Hello all,

I hope you are doing as well as possible. Thank you for continued dedication to students in your communities. You are close to the end of the school year and have adapted so well during these strange and challenging times.

Here are relevant updates:

  1. Steelhead permits
    Due to the pandemic and closures of schools, steelhead permits are not required to be returned this year. If you returned it...thank you! Returned permits still serve as documentation for in-kind support for our funding grant. If you weren't able to turn it in, or if all the fish died. No worries. This year you are not required to return your permit in order to obtain eggs in the future.
  2. Teacher workshops
    Dates have been set for teacher workshops during the 20-21 school year. You can register here Currently we are planning to offer these as we have in the past. We may have to limit registration due to room sizes. Additionally, we are exploring distance learning strategies to facilitate the teacher workshops and new ways to equip future teachers for success in CAEP. If you have any suggestion or idea please let me know.
  3. Important Dates:
    These are important dates for next year to mark on your calendar. You can always reference the Region 2 CAEP calendar as well.

This program is an amazing means of facilitating meaningful connections between students and these amazing fish and aquatic resources. Statewide CAEP is working to develop new resources to meet your increasing distance learning needs and exploring options for teachers to engage their students with live fish hatched cooperatively amongst the class. If you have ideas or suggestions for developing resources for teachers, adapting future teacher workshops to be facilitated online, streamlining the permit process, etc., please let me know. I'm searching for ideas and ways that we can improve.

Sincerely,
Richard Muñoz
CAEP Coordinator Region 2

Hello! Summer is is full swing! The weather is warm (or hot perhaps). Here is a fun and simple activity for your consideration next year. Any suggestions or things you would like to share please let us know.

Gyotaku, or ‘fish – stone impression’ is a traditional Japanese art of printing fish. It was used in the mid 1800’s for fishermen to record their catches. This is a fun activity to get your students excited about raising fish in their classroom. You can use your own store bought fish or find rubber stamps online like the ones we use.

Workshops are scheduled, click to sign up!

SPONSORS: Check out the workshop dates and let us know what dates you would like to help out.

Cuidate!
