¡ Orta visita!

Esta vez fue para 3ro C.

Llegó la Señora ANA PIETRO con su calor de abuela y nos contó una bella historia familiar. De generación en generación se regalan una almohada y es tanto el sentimiento que le tienen, que no quieren perderla por nada del mundo.Su nieta JUANITA  recibió de regalo de su abuela los primeros escarpines que usó su mamá ESTRELLA y una foto de la primera vez que estuvieron juntas...

Trout Release field trip

Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is an environmental program funded by Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited (PATU) and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC).  Students learned about coldwater conservation while raising brook trout from eggs to fingerlings.  The yearlong project final came to an end with a trout release trip.  Students were able to get wet while conducting a variety of water tests and were able look for aquatic insects.  Even though it was a cold, rainy day, students had a great time and learned about our Pennsylvania waterways.
