Salmon Release and Clay Pot Glazing — The Early Learning Community First-Second Grade

This week we said goodbye to the salmon we had been raising over the last couple of months. Students carefully and gently released their salmon fry into the Tualatin river where they will begin their journey toward the Pacific Ocean. After releasing our salmon, students gathered in a circle to share goodbye letters they wrote to our salmon. The letters shared fond memories of raising the salmon and hopes and wishes for the journey ahead. We sure will miss having 200 salmon flitting around our fish tank!

Earlier this week Ms. Casey came in to help us glaze our coil clay pots. After another round in the kiln, our masterpieces should be ready to take home. We can’t wait!
