We took a trip to Bowen Creek to release the salmon we raised.
My opinion of the salmon project
was that it was great. It was kind of sad in the end. It was
kind of good that the salmon got to see what their home looks
like.

On May 8th the
third graders went to Bowen Creek to release our salmon. We started
preparing to release the salmon after lunch. Mr. Hughes and Mrs.
Catanese helped us get the salmon out of the tank. On the way there were
dandilions with bees on them. Grace found a baby painted turtles. It had
pretty markings.

In 20 minutes
we were there! All of us got out of the bus and ran and ran! The water
temp was 50 degrees! Just what we needed! On the count of three we all
released the salmon! Then we threw sticks in the water and fished them
out! Plus everyone got all mucky! My opinion is our fish will have a
good life!
...Taler
To get the
salmon out of the tank you had to let the water out. To get the water
out you had to use a tube. It's like a vacuum so it takes out the water.
After we got the water out we went to Bowen Creek. After we let the
salmon out I fell in the river. My opinion is we learned a lot about
salmon this year.
...Grace
Mrs. Catanese,
our teacher, called us up group by group to get our salmon. Taler and I
were last. I got 11 and Taler got 9 fish.. When we found a spot by the
river we sat down. I put the fish in the water. Then all of a sudden my
knee slipped into the river and some fish got out. Then we released them
all.

I released six
salmon at 12:30. It was about 50 degrees F. I got soaked with a lot of
water. It was a nice day. It was so much fun. I learned salmon grow
fast. They eat bigger and bigger food.

After lunch we
started putting the 171 salmon into Ziploc bags. Now everybody had a bag
of salmon. We got on the bus and then we walked and found the creek.
First we had to dunk the bag in the water. Second we had to open the
bag. Third we had to release our salmon. It was a very awesome day!

On May 8th we
went to Arcadia to release our salmon. I had 14 in my Ziploc bag. After
we released the salmon everybody went to play. My opinion of the salmon
project was that it was great. It was kind of sad in the end. It was
kind of good that they got to see what their home looks like.
...Tighe
I had 5 fish
and I had to babysit the fish on the way to Bowen Creek to release our
salmon. My opinion of the salmon project is responsibility. My class has
learned lots from the salmon. We learned to feed the salmon.
...Kassie
The third
grade went to Bowen Creek. The water was about 50 degrees F. I had 16
fish in my bag. There were 171 salmon we released. The nice salmon hated
the sun. I put them up to the sun and they all stared at me. My opinion
about the salmon project was it taught me a lot. It showed me that the
fish in their eggs actually moved. We had fun times with the salmon.
...April
We went on the
bus to release our salmon. When we got to the creek we set our bags in
the water so the fish could get used to it. Then on the count of three
we let them go. After we were done we were playing in the creek but 5
people fell in. It was gross. I was one of those people. After that we
found a tunnel and there was a side where you could catch the sticks. So
we did that. We got a large stick and sent it down the creek. My
opinions are it was an adventure because you could see fish up close
without them swimming away. ...Kyleigh
Mrs. Catanese
and Mr. Hughes scooped the fish out of the fish tank and put them in a
zip lock bags with some water. We got on the bus and went to Bowen
Creek. Grace and I found a turtle. It was awesome. I learned the fish
have to be in 50 degree water.

My class and I
went to release our salmon. The reason why we released the salmon is
because they needed to be in a bigger home.. We released the salmon at
Bowen creek. Bowen Creek is in Arcadia. We put the fish in a ziploc bag.
The reason why they needed to be in a bag is so they couldn't get
out. Our principal helped us. He helped us because our teacher needed
some help. I want to tell you that we left the salmon in the stream
because they needed to be out in the stream.
