This week I took my AgriEcology class out fish stocking for the field experience for my community based unit of instruction on populations. Out of 24 students only 7 went because of either bad grades or just did not want to go.
Being none of us have ever helped with stocking before it was unsure what to expect. Were we the only ones helping? How would this whole day pan out? When we arrived there were about twenty to thirty others there to help. They ranged from older gentlemen who were probably retired and this is something they looked forward to, to dads bringing their young children.
We learned first thing that they do not tell you where the next stop is and well we got lost when we got stopped at a red light and lost sight of those in front of us. We finally made it back with the group. However, sometimes things do not go as planned and the unbelievable happens. You scratch the school van with students in it.
I never thought of how this process would go, even though it is not one my cooperating teacher or I wanted me to see it happened. (I was not the driver fyi) The school had to be called, cops called, administration had to come, every adult plus student had to give them their information, once we got back to the school every student in the van plus us had to get checked out by the school nurse, than you have to meet with the principle and all those and wait to see what the next step is.
The one awesome thing out of the day was meeting Mindy Fee who is one of their representatives while fish stocking.
