Trout in Two Classrooms?

This year marks our tenth year with the Trout in the Classroom Program! In typical Lack Tuscarora style, we hope to make this year’s experience extra special as we will share our trout with the other first grade students at Juanita Elementary School when we consolidate in January.

Let that soak in for a moment. We will receive our eggs as usual the first week of November. Battle our normal obstacles of ich, fungus, and equipment failures. Then tear the tank down, move the water, fish, and equipment. Then hope the trout survive this transition to be released on May 11, 2019 by the first grade students at our new school-Juniata Elementary.

One thing I love about this program is that each year is a unique experience with its own set of obstacles. This year will be sure to provide many problem solving opportunities as we will develop a plan to move our tank to our new classroom. Stay tuned to keep abreast of our adventures!

My students are eager to help make this our best year ever!
