Our fifth buddies created trout illustrations and a great poster charting the change of their BROWN TROUT. |
Students from pre-K to 5th used their knowledge of insects and dichotomous keys to learn about insects that spend most of their lives living in our streams. The insects are great food for trout, and tell us the water is clean.

It's a Stonefly Larva! |
After 2 or 3 years, these insects CHANGE- they go through metamorphosis, and emerge from the stream as flying adults! Its all about CHANGE! Thanks to Ellie and Leo, and the staff at BJM for all their work to put this together- see you next year!
