The last 2 years, I have been participating in a program called "Trout in the Classroom." In January, my class received 100 rainbow trout eggs that we watched hatch and grow in a tank in our room. Michael Kellett (seen catching the trout for release) has been our classroom biologist and spent time teaching the students about different types of trout, culverts, and helping fish habitats. In April, we released our fish into the Boise River. This year we had an 84% survival rate (down from 93% last year...still a great % though!). These pics are of the tank and some of the kids that met us on the COLD (there were snow flakes!) Saturday morning of the release into the river.
