The 6th graders’ Trout in the Classroom project sponsored by the Nebraska Games and Parks Commission is underway! About 160 rainbow trout eggs arrived on the 13th. The first eggs hatched three days sooner than our predicted date of Jan. 22nd. We’ll continue to research and investigate the trout life cycle and anatomy as they grow large enough to be released to a stock pond at the AkSarBen Aquarium in May. We shared a close up look at newly hatched alevins with our pre-school reading buddies.
