He taught the children about the life cycle of the salmon, cousins of the little trout in our aquarium.   See the web page for a collection of questions and a photo of this event.  Barbara Cohen used her computer time to record Brooke. At the end each child stated something they had learned from the presentation. Brooke thinks our school is incredible which is true. Here is what the Sequoia Room learned from Brooke:

We are going to release the trout we have been raising in Bob’s 6th Grade Science classroom over spring vacation. The date was picked for optimal survival of the fish. We will meet on Saturday, 3/31 at 9:00am at the Lake Lagunitas parking lot in the hills above Fairfax. All 6th grade students and their parents are invited to participate in this special release party, but you have to arrange your own transportation. Hope to see you there!

In case you were wondering whether the trout are getting excited about their upcoming release, they’ve decided to do a little interpretive dance for us all, entitled “Fish Ballet.” Enjoy! (requires Quicktime)

Sequoia Trout Song
(To the tune of “Mr. Golden Sun”)

Oh Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
Please come swim with me
Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
Hiding back under the sea

These little Sequoias are waiting for you
To come out so we can swim with you

Oh Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
A tear comes to my eye
Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
‘Cause we have to say goodbye

You’ll live in a river or nice cool lake
Or maybe in the ocean underneath the waves

Oh Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
Your Sequoia days may end
Mr. Trout, Trout
Mr. Little Trout
But you’ll always be our friend

Splish, splash, I was takin’ a bath,
In my fish tank today,
I’m just an egg, floating in my bag,
The temperature is feeling okay.
I was movin’ and a groovin’,
Splishin’ and a splashin,
Oo baby, I love the action,
Zoom, zim, I thought I couldn’t swim, but then I popped my little fins out.

Splish, splash, I was takin’ a bath,
I’m an alevin today.
My egg sack is a anchorin’ me,
The temperature is feeling okay.

Splishin’ and a splashin’,
Oo baby, I love the action,
Zoom, zim, I thought I couldn’t swim, but then I swept my tail about.

Splish, splash, I was takin’ a bath,
I’m a small fry today.
I’m zoomin’ here, I’m zoomin’ there,
The temperature is feeling okay.
I see my sister, I see my brother,
I’m ready for the real world mother,
Zoom zim, now I can swim, I’m ready for the creek today!

“Yesterday we opened the tank and we noticed that 2 of the alevin had turned into frys. And by today we had 3! Alevin is the stage when the fish starts to absorb the nutrition of the egg and becomes a tiny fish with a big tummy. At that stage they hide in the gravel for protection and darkness. Then, when they start to absorb the egg’s nutrients, they grow into the next stage, which is a fry. When they have absorbed enough of the egg nutrients, they can free-swim around the tank.

The kids used their science journals to draw the frys as best they could, but they dart around the tank so fast that we had to draw quickly!

Along the way there have been eggs that have deteriorated in the tanks. When this happens, Matt reaches in with a turkey baster and sucks them up. If you don’t do this, the dead eggs hook onto the gravel and become bacteria. Because we our tanks don’t have free-flowing water, the bacteria would contaminate the tank and it would become a hostile environment — trout need to be in fresh, clean water.”

And here are some quotes from Janet’s kids:

What was exciting is that we had some fry. ~Harrison
There were some eggs attached to the fry. ~Lila
I learned that alevin had big bellies. ~Alexander
When I looked at it, it feeled like their bellies were filled with all this food. ~Caroline
I saw the egg part was still red and I was surprised. ~Ella
The fish fry were swimming on the top of the tank. ~Lily
Some were fry and some were alevin. ~Haakon
Some eggs are still trying to hatch. ~Emma J.
I saw that that the tail of an alevin was sticking out of the rock. ~Addy
I didn’t know that alevins stay in the rocks until they swim. ~Emma
The older they get, the smaller the egg gets. ~Cameron
I saw one fish was trying to get inside the rock. ~Amelia
There is an alevin hid under a rock. ~Lila
I saw an alevin swimming on the top of the water. Ben
I wonder why the little fry were swimming on the top. Raphaela
The fry swim fast. Michael
The fry are so cute and swim really fast. Sarena
