October 17 - Mrs. Malfitano's Fourth Grade

Today, I had the privilege of spending time with these wonderful children and their families, fishing together. An experience that cannot be found within the walls of a classroom.

We have all heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." This picture represents all the times I heard, "FISH ON!!" Sharing in the excitement of these children catching their first fish. Watching families spending time outdoors, encouraging each other, laughing and squealing. Arms were tired from reeling in eight pound catfish. Moms and Dads were waiting with the net. There were even a couple of bass in the mix. We had a constant trail of fish being hauled to be weighed and measured. We captured these moments with many pictures.  Nobody wanted our time to end. One parent said, "This helps families bond."

Thank you teachers and Area Chief Angler Educators from Texas Parks and Wildlife who came out to share their love and knowledge of fishing. Everybody is "hooked" and is asking, "When can we do this again?"
