Interview about the Salmon Eggs  By Abbie & Giselle

1. Q: Which stream did you take the fish eggs from?

 Answer: North Creek, which is in Lake Washington.

2. Q: When will you release them this year?

Answer: This year we will release them in March, around spring.

3. Q: How many of the eggs are there in total?

Answer: All together there are around a total of five hundred salmon eggs in the tank.

4. Q:  What type of food will you feed them as they grow?

Answer: A mixed food of fish meal and vitamins, that was made for them because they usually eat other salmon that are broken down when they are young.

5. Q:  What type of salmon will they grow up to be?

Answer: Cohoe or Silver salmon, we couldn’t use Chinook or King salmon because they are an endangered species. That way, we wouldn’t have to worry about them dying when already so little of them survive.

6. Q: How big will the salmon become, what will they look like?

Answer: Six to sixteen pounds, they will live two to four years, and when they grow up they will have bright silver spots on the body and tail fin, and very sharp teeth.

Welcome to this week's blog post! We are figuring out the best way capture our learning with pictures. This week's method is not the one. Look for more pictures next week!

BG Writing by Kelvin and Ben

This week BG writing, we are taking notes on our endangered animal. We got to choose an animal out of these three: Northern Spotted Owl,  Leatherback Sea turtle, and Woodland Caribou. We will use the information we got to make infographics.

BG Science by Livia, Naomi, and Melia

This week in science we are working on infographics. Pictochart is an app that you can create infographics and presentations on a certain topic. Our topic is endangered animals that live in Washington, and those animals are: Leatherback Sea Turtle, Northern Spotted Owl, and  We are having a great experience!

KFC Science by Sydney P

This week in science we are working on our infographics. An infographic is a special type of informative poster that is done digitally. We are making them through this really cool sight called piktochart, and they are about the endangered animal we chose to study a few months ago. Our infographics include threats to the species we chose and also how we can help save them. All of the infographics are looking really cool, plus they are fun to do!

It was awesome and we all had a lot of fun. Everyone did a amazing job!

Brightwater Field Trip Report by Bubble Giraffes

The Bubble Giraffes did a writing exercise about Soleil's field trip to Brightwater.  Each student wrote a nonfiction paragraph that described what the picture showed and that gave their audience enough information about the trip to have a clear idea of what we did.  Under the photos are the paragraphs that were written about it. We really enjoyed learning more about what makes a cohesive blog post and look forward to building our skills in the future.
