Rainforest Heroes-Salmon Sally's Upstream Sprint presented a major challenge 
to our 3rd through 5th graders.  It is a very realistic game with the goal 
of helping Salmon Sally get upstream through various real-life obstacles 
such as oil, logs, fisherman and bears.  The Game of the Day link leads to 
word searches and crossword puzzles.
