Friday's trip to Eagle Creek was a smashing success! We were able to see quite a few salmon who have made it back from their journey to the ocean. We spent some time examining their habitat before lunch. Then we participated in nature stations before our tour at the Cascade Fish Hatchery. Thanks to all the parent chaperones (& Mr. Nick) who helped make the day run smoothly. And a special thanks to Erin and Casey for these awesome photos!
Writing in nature journals.
Learning how to use binoculars for a bit of bird-watching (Thanks to Mrs. Fisher for letting us borrow her supplies!)
Taking notes on the salmons' habitat.
Salmon in action!

More habitat study.
Third graders had lots of thoughtful and insightful questions for our friend Neil at the hatchery.
