Enjoy the break! Take this time to reset and catch up with your family. A holiday break is the perfect time to do this! If your student has only missed two or fewer school days this year, Please take time to be proud of that achievement! Stay safe, and keep standing strong and supportive of your students!
Our Native American Director Darren did a shuttlecock craft with the 2nd graders in Ms. Falcone’s class. He provided us with the materials and step by step direction on how to make and then play a game with the finished “birdie”. We also learned about the Zuni tribe as this is a game played by the Zuni.
The 3rd grade classes went snow shoeing behind the Vaughan and had a blast!

The TROUT Eggs are in!!
Over 20,000 Rainbow Trout (steelhead) eggs are being distributed across Minnesota this week, and our very own Chisholm High School is participating in the 7th Grade Life Science class for the 5th year!
Mrs. Allen predicts that there are about 300 eggs in the basket as of this afternoon. The students will count the eggs tomorrow! Once the year gets closer to release day, the 7th-grade students will begin their Fishy Friday Journal.
The journal is a way for students to collect both qualitative and quantitative data on the young trout as they grow! Students will observe the growth of the fish as well as take down data on how the water quality is doing as the fish feed and grow.
Data is taken on Survivorship and Water Quality, which will include, temperature, as well as all steps in the Nitrogen Cycle (Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate), and pH. Here is hoping for another great year participating in Minnesota's Trout in the Classroom Program.
7th graders will plan to take their annual release day trip in late May to the lake assigned by the Minnesota DNR Fisheries Department, to collect more ecological data, and release their trout!
