Eagle Creek Part 2… More Photos!

Eagle Creek and Cascade Fish Hatchery

We had a fabulous day on Friday! Thanks to all of the parents who were able to chaperone and Ms. Gwendolyn who also joined us for the day. We learned so much! (more photos coming soon!)

Initial observations of spawning salmon in their habitat. 

Getting closer to the water to do further investigations. 

Matt, our guide at the Cascade Hatchery, was very knowledgable about the process of raising salmon at the Hatchery.

Some students took lots of notes throughout the hatchery tour.

And asked really good questions!

We even got to feed the fish!

Before heading back to school. It was a long and adventurous day.. Some of us were pretty tired by the bus ride home. :)

Math Measurement from September

Students worked in partners to find items in the classroom that were of a certain length.

Pumpkin Patch

We started off our morning on Thursday by heading to the Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch. We got a ride from a tractor to the pumpkin patch.

We picked out our pumpkins and headed to the hay pyramid to play and enjoy the scenery.

Finally we headed to the animal barn before heading back to school. It was a lovely morning!

When we got back to school we used our pumpkins to fine tune our math skills, measurement, circumference, and estimation, oh my!
