Our Next Video Conference

Salmon I have scheduled a video conference through the California State Parks Dept.  We will be speaking with Ranger Ryan on Wednesday afternoon while he is in the Del Norte Coast State Park near Crescent City.  We will be learning about the life cycle and habitat of salmon and the importance of our natural resources.  We are preparing thoughtful questions and hope to make this an engaging learning time. One thing I find  pleasantly surprising is that this virtual field trip is totally free to our students.

Mrs. P 😀

P.S. I have another video conference scheduled for June, but I’ll tell you more about that one later.

    I’m anxious to learn about salmon.

  8. Dear Mrs.Petuya,

    Fact of Salmons

    I have a lot of facts about salmons. I will tell four
    facts about salmons. In the Pacific Northwest,
    Atlantic salmons have not taken over rivers forcing out native salmons. Another fact is, salmons are incredibly efficient eaters. Also, farmed salmons are rich in heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Lastly, Salmon are intensively produced in aquaculture in many parts of the world. I hope you have a fun time reading about salmons.

    • Dear Justin,
      Thank you for sharing these facts about salmon. But I still have some questions. What makes salmon efficient eaters? What is aquaculture?
      Mrs. P

  9. I think salmon are cool fish because they live in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but most are born in fresh water then migrate back to the ocean. They come through our river to leave their babies. My dad fishes for them, and my mom loves to eat them. Do you know how many fish babies the salmon moms carry?

    • Dear Brian,
      Thank you for the extra information about salmon. How many salmon has your dad caught? Have you ever gone fishing with him? Where does your dad go to fish?
      Mrs. P.

  10. I think my dad caught about six salmon, and they were huge! Now, my dad just fishes for bass in tournaments. I went fishing with him many times, but only for trout and bass. He fished for salmon on the river in the greenhaven area. He bass fished on all the lakes in the area and all the way to Arizona.
