“
TIC was a new experience for me and my students this year. It was definitely a learning experience at that!

My students actively monitored the water quality and took ownership of the fish themselves. This program provided an excellent, inclusive, hands-on learning opportunity — I’m looking forward to hosting trout in my classroom again next year.
