Something Fishy – Special education teachers at Van Holten Elementary in Bridgewater are using fish to help students get excited about learning. Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is a science-based program that demonstrates the importance of cold water conservation through a hands-on experience. By raising brook trout from eggs to fingerlings, the size they are at release time, students learn about the importance of clean, cold water, not only for the fish they are raising, but also for other organisms, including people. The teachers at Van Holten have incorporated the program throughout curriculum including language and math as well as speech and occupational therapy.
