Salmon Life Cycle


Dear Grade Fives,

On Friday, we go to Stellako to see the salmon spawn. In preparation, I would like you to view the following video again Life Cycle of Salmon and then listen to the Salmon Life Cycle Song. 

I would then like you to write a short paragraph describing the salmon life cycle. Ensure that all sentences begin with a capital and end with a period. Please use your best guess spelling for unknown words.

I look forward to reading your paragraphs.

Love, Mrs. French
