Fishing Trip

We have been having so much fun visiting a different local farm each month (my spin on the classic Waldorf grade 3 Farming block). For March, we dove (no pun intended) into Illinois aquaculture!

Here are some pictures from our morning at Little Grassy Fish Hatchery.

a tour of the facility

we learn about the process for raising channel catfish

time to go fishing in the stock ponds!

the first fish!

everything was catch and release

we finish with picnic lunches outside on a beautiful day

A great follow up to this field trip would be Minn of the Mississippi by Holling Clancy Holling, which we will read after we finish our current lunchtime read aloud story, Cheaper by the Dozen!
