The PS 154 Trout Club wants to welcome everyone to our blog. The Trout Club is made up of a group of about 20 3rd-5th graders, Ms. Hanson, our science teacher and Mr. Havlik, our assistant principal. We are creating this blog as another way to communicate with the school community about what is happening with the trout in our science lab. We hope that you visit us often for updates.

A Visit to Newtown Creek
This morning we took a Skype trip to Newtown Creek! Newtown Creek is the body of water that separates Brooklyn from Queens. Look down next time you are on the BQE going over the Kosciuszko Bridge and you will see it. Leading us on our journey was Lillit Genovesi, who talked about her work at the Creek. She answered the children's questions and we determined that Newtown Creek, due to its high concentration of pollution and lack of dissolved oxygen, is not a habitat that could meet the needs of our trout.
