Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 6th Grade Science Curriculum

Carl, this looks awesome! An easy grant proposal and BOOM! New class pet/ educational tool.

Molly,

Trout in the classroom might be an idea to consider. I think there are around 70 schools in MD currently engaged. Jim Greene (jgreene@waterwisp.com) is the expert.

I'm sending out a feeler message for ideas about teaching 6th graders how to fish. 

Next year, I'll teach an estimated 60, 6th graders. Every year we do something called Chesapeake Week, where we take a week or two of intensive study to focus on our watershed. This year was my first year at the school and I kind of ran with the established program. Next year I would really like to improve upon the curriculum and add in a few more perspectives. I'm also in charge of the new Middle School outdoor rec program (~20 person limit). We've already teamed up with Calleva and Earth Treks, and I think adding one more element, for before the weather turns foul would be nice. 

I've seen a few affiliates through TPFR, like the Saturday Orvis class (Thanks again Dan) and the Family and Youth Casting Call. Are there any programs out there which could handle the raucous nature of 11-14 year old? 

Can you think of any issues that I may come across (permits and the like)? 

Thanks for any advice,

Molly
