Great news!!!! The trout arrived today!!!! Hooray!!!! We are welcoming 200 trout eggs this year as a result of our success last year. We are acclimating the eggs tonight and will be introducing them to their growing basket soon. We will be installing our Underwater Camera this week as well so we can film the growing trout.

Earth Cycles and YOU!

In our Sixth grade classes we have been discussing the different cycles on Earth. We began with the Water Cycle and have since moved on to the Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles. I would like to have you continue this conversation at home. If you would, please discuss the ways in which each of these cycles are at work in your own yard and community. Please talk with your parents or an adult, and try to cite some examples from your yard and/or your neighborhood. Please share these discussions with your classmates on the blog so we can have an open discussion about them. I look forward to your examples and thoughts!
