Trout Ballet
Our fishy friends are growing up and ready to go back home! Here’s a copy of an email that went home to 6th grade parents last week:
We are going to release the trout we have been raising in Bob’s 6th Grade Science classroom over spring vacation. The date was picked for optimal survival of the fish. We will meet on Saturday, 3/31 at 9:00am at the Lake Lagunitas parking lot in the hills above Fairfax. All 6th grade students and their parents are invited to participate in this special release party, but you have to arrange your own transportation. Hope to see you there!
In case you were wondering whether the trout are getting excited about their upcoming release, they’ve decided to do a little interpretive dance for us all, entitled “Fish Ballet.” Enjoy! (requires Quicktime)

A neat little video with the fish dancing around the tank and appropriate music. Overall, a very impressive site and good examples of activities. Well done!!

Wow how cool seeing all those fish in the tank. They all hatched from eggs and then you released them at Lagunitas Lake. Isn’t science fun!
