Salmon, Science, and a whole LOT of hands-on Learning!🐟
Our fifth graders headed to Morgan Creek Fish Hatchery today, and it looked a bit different than their average day at school 😉.
Miss Sam from ODFW, and the fantastic hatchery volunteers, put our students to work catching, sorting, and releasing fish, along with harvesting salmon eggs. Miss Sam also brought out a salmon for dissection, giving our students a firsthand look at the organs and tissues that make up these fish. Science class just got a whole lot fishier!
And we’re not done yet! Come January, we’re hoping to get a salmon tank set up right here at Riverview so that our students can watch baby salmon grow and eventually help release them back at the hatchery.
We love getting our Warriors out into the community, learning from the people who know our local resources best, and getting their hands dirty (or fishy, as the case may be).
Keep your eyes peeled! We’ve got more photos and videos from this incredible day coming your way soon! 🐟
