4th Grade- Salmon Summit

I was able to go on Alaina's 4th grade field trip today, The Salmon Summit. It was alot of fun! The 4th graders have been learning all about Salmon for the last few months. Over the past couple weeks their class got some real hands on learning by raising salmon of their very own.

  

Here's Alaina's baby Salmon she has raised since it was a egg.

Today was the big day. Time to set them free! Back into the Wild.

Here's a few girl's in Alaina's class. All of them sad, to see their fish go :(

We had a great time down by the Columbia River. The class moved from station to station learning different things about salmon, the river and nature. We made salmon life cycle bracelets, learned about forest fire fighting, how rivers and dams make electricity, Lewis and Clark, swimming safety, hydroplane racing, water pollution, and then all of the kids got to go inside of a giant salmon to look at the murals painted on the inside of it. It was really cool. All of the presenters made it really fun for the kids. Great field trip!
