The Salmon's Story

econd and 3rd grades have been learning about the lives of the salmon in our rivers. We have 5 kinds of salmon that spawn in our waters. All of our nearby rivers and creeks are home to Chinook, Coho, Chum salmon and Steelhead trout. They all have basically the same life cycle except timing and length of stay in fresh water. The Outdoor Adventures kids had a class complete with real salmon eggs, spawning gravel etc. It was followed up with a National Geographic video where they saw the real thing.
