We had a great time at McNary Dam!  First, the guide talked to the students about the salmon that come through there and how they help them travel down through pipes and up the two fish ladders.  They load them onto barges and trucks to transport them past the other dams downstream.  We went to the powerhouse and over to the Washington side to see the fish ladder viewing windows on that side.  We got to see a couple bigger fish, but there were mostly smaller ones.  The students got to see the lock but didn't get to see a barge go through.  On the Oregon side, we ate lunch outside, and the students got to play.  We looked through the fish ladder windows on that side, and then went back to school.

Students are bringing home MAP Test results today.
