BioSITE Field Programs are going great! Pioneer, Leland, and ACE Programs are well into the year- and spring is right around the corner. February and March are full for all programs- Pioneer and Leland field days focusing on birds and fish and also macroinvertebrates! A great way to teach food webs in the riparian community. For ACE- we have completed our Day 1s. Now we are facilitating Day 2s here at CDM. And we are beginning to schedule Day 3s. For our Day 3s we are venturing out to many different locations in our Watershed: Guadalupe Creek at Pioneer, Alamitos Creek at Leland, Guadalupe River at Guadalupe River Park and Gardens, Almaden Lake Park, Ulistac Nature Preserve, or Shoreline Park. As ACE Teachers finish their Day 2s- we are planning the last day of their Watershed Tour together.
Thanks for all of your efforts- BioSITE Teachers are the best! Let us know if you are ready for any in class activity kits!

Some Online Fish Activites
As many of you are heading into your salmon units, your class might find the following online fish game fun/useful.
Salmon Challenge from King County, Washington is a game to help you see how your decisions help or harm our environment and our salmon. Students get to name their fish and then answer a series of questions about human activities that affect the creek health as the fish works its way down to Puget Sound. If you play, be sure to click the "Checkup button" as you go to map out the salmon's growth and health.
