Salmon in the Classroom

salmon 4a

"As an elementary school teacher I had taught every level from kindergarten through 6th grade. My experience teaching at each of these grade levels enabled me to become familiar with the broad K-6 curriculum as well as the developmental continuum of K-6 learners. One of the most important things I learned from my wide-ranging teaching experience is that a vast majority of children at every elementary grade level are passionate about protecting animals and animal habitats in the world in which they live..."

-Daniel S. King, from the article "Salmon in (and out) of the Classroom, CLEARING #121 Sept. 2008
