-click on the trout to get a link to a map to the trout farm-
Parents are in charge of getting their students to and from the trout farm. If you need help with driving arrangements contact Melinda Montgomery, our wonderful room parent, at melmont30@gmail.com
Students can be dropped off between 8:30 & 8:45. Please plan to pick them up by 2:45. The cost of the field trip is 3$ which the students will be paying individually directly to the trout farm to cover the cost of fishing privileges. No fishing license is needed.
We will be observing how the trout farm raises fish and connecting their system to the life cycle of fish, catching a fish, dissecting and studying it’s anatomy, grilling the meat and utilizing the beautiful iridescent skin for an art project.
Friday: NO SCHOOL! (It’s a professional development day, but feel free to drop off chocolate dipped strawberries if you find yourself bored without school)
