Learning about Salmon

We are learning about Salmon now.  Fifty-five salmon eggs arrived this week and are in a tank in Ms. Katerynych's Grade One class.  We will be visiting the eggs regularly and watching them develop and hatch into little salmon.  In the Spring, we hope to take a field trip to Beaver Lake in Stanley Park to help the other Grade One class release the Salmon Fry!

In the meantime, we made a "fish tank" in our room and will "raise" our own little salmon!

Here is a story from C.B. about our visit to see the eggs!
