Sea Center Texas
Thursday we visited Sea Center Texas in Lake Jackson. Sea Center is a nature center run by the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife. It is also a game fish production hatchery. We had a chance to look at their displays--the octopus was not hiding so was a hit--and then take the hatchery tour. We learned a lot, maybe too much, about how to get fish to breed. Then we fed fish at the Youth Fishing Pond and went on a walk through the wetlands.

And the Winner is...
Congratulations to our 4th through 8th graders who participated in the Geography Bee on Tuesday. The winner of the competition is Gavin P.! Elaina C. placed second and Adia K. was third. It was a close race with only 10 points separating the top scorer from the last place finisher. I will have participation certificates for everyone, ribbons and prizes for the winners at our next class.
