When I Grow Up I want to be a Cosmetologist
For demonstrating kindness, respect, responsibility and safety, a second-grade student used her PBIS points to enter the Staffle. As one of the Staffle winners, Shakira chose to do Ms. Sewell’s makeup for the day. What a beautiful job she did!
When I Grow Up I want to be an Artist
In 6th-grade art, students are replicating Jen Stark inspired flowers by first drawing a flower and then creating wavy and drippy lines as a background.
When I Grow Up I want to be a Linguist
Students in second grade were working on their letter sounds and digraphs by listening and following along to some catchy tunes! Our student teacher Ms. Garcia, second grade student teacher Mrs. Kring, and K-3 Resource teacher Mr. Lohrasbi were dancing, listening, and helping the students throughout the FUN activity.
When I Grow Up I want to be an Eththycologist
Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to
FishBase, 33,400 species of fish had been described as of October 2016, with approximately 250 new species described each year. Mr. Galland - This week the 7th grade science classes were able to experience some real hands-on science even though the circumstances were a bit "fishy".
Harrah school has partnered with the Benton County Conservation District for the last few years. As part of that partnership, the students raise salmon in a tank and later release them into the Yakima River. An added benefit is students also experience a dissection led by two biologists from the conservation district.
This week, the students were able to take part in the dissection. They learned about, and saw firsthand, the major organs of the salmon such as the swim bladder, heart, spleen, and others.
The students also could touch eggs, view the brain, and the ear bones- yes salmon have ears.
Some Facts We Learned:
Salmon have "ears" inside their skull that absorb sound waves allowing them to hear.
The ear bones and scales have rings that scientists can use to tell the age of the salmon(much like a tree's rings).
The scales on a salmon are round and clear so the color you see is the skin's real color.
We are looking to release the tank Coho sometime in early May.
