Modern Day Pen Pals
Mrs. Winey and Mrs. Glock can hardly wait to get our schools together. We wanted to have the students get know each other a little before the trout release. We will be blogging back and forth to get to know each other. Modern day pen pals-what fun!
Hello from Mrs. Winey's first grade class! My students are so excited to interact with you! We were sorry to hear about your "jumper"( the fish that jumped out of the tank to his untimely dealth). We experienced the same thing last year. We watched some fish jump up at flies that flew over the tank. So we assumed that when we found some beside the tank that they must have seen something to entice them to jump out. We lost several until we decided to lower the water level some.It helps if you do not fill the tank as high. 
Comments from Mrs. Winey's First Grade:
Aiddan: I am really looking forward to seeing you.
Hunter: I can't wait to see your trout.
Marissa: I was wondering how big your trout are and how many you have alive?
Nate: I wanted to thank you for the trout that you gave us even thought many of them have
died.
Cameron: I am excited to see you because I did not get to go to the release last year because I
was at a different school.
Duane: I was wondering what you look like. Maybe you could take a picture and post it so we can
see you...
Joceline: I want to know how you are doing?
Dyllan: I wonder what your trout look like?
Heaven: I want you to know I miss you from last year.
Cheyenne: I can't wait to see you this year at the trout release.
Bethany: I want to thank you for the trout you gave us because I love to feed the trout.
Gabby: I want to see your trout on the day of the trout release.
Jordan: I wonder how your fish are doing?
Leah: I want you to know that we have about 30 fish alive. Many have been dying.
Aiddan: We are really looking forward to seeing you too! We're in grades 10 through 12.
ReplyDeleteHunter: We're excited to see your trout! Sorry to hear about the fish you lost.
Marissa: Our fish are about an inch long and we have close to 150 or 200 of them.
Nate: We're sorry to hear that they died but we were happy to give you some.
Cameron: We are also excited to release the trout with you! Not everybody in the class this year went last year either.
Duane: A group picture will be posted soon! :D
Joceline: We are doing fine. The fish have been having Nitrate and pH problems the last week or so though. Ms. Glock is on the case though and the problems seem to be getting better!
Dyllan: There will be pictures of our trout posted soon! :D
Heaven: We all miss you too! The people who didn't go last year can't wait to meet you and your class this year!
Cheyenne: We can't wait to see you either!
Bethany: You're welcome for the trout. We love feeding the trout too and they're eating the number 2 food now!
Gabby: We want to see your trout on the day of release too! You'll be able to see them before that though. We're going to be posting pictures very soon.
Jordan: The fish are doing okay. They are having nitrate problems and pH problems still. We put lettuce in the tank to help with the nitrate problem and the fish like to pull the lettuce through into the water with them.
Leah: We are all sorry to hear about the fish dying! :(
Our class also has some questions!
Chad: Why do you think all your fish are dying?
Chelsey: What part of the release are you most excited for?
Tori & Cody: Have you named your trout yet? Our classmate, Peter, started naming ours earlier.
Bronda: How big our your fish now?
Ms. Glock: Do you have any other kinds of fish in the classroom?
