The+Salmon+Eggs+Have+Arrived!

On Thursday, March 12, 2009 the grade fours received a very important delivery! Our secretary, Katrina, paged the room to say that we had an important visitor. Mr. George Lynton had arrived to bring us 300 salmon eggs. We were surprised when he came in carrying a mason jar with only a small amount of little orange balls in the bottom of the jar. We thought the eggs would be much larger.

As though the eggs were as precious as a new baby, Tyler and Logan gently lowered the fish eggs into their new home. The others held their breath until the eggs floated to the rocky bottom. They were safe! We marked their arrival on the class calendar and recorded the temperature as Mr. Lynton had told us to do. Now all we had to do was wait!
