Our Original Hatch Date!

Today was our original hatch date for the chickens in the incubator. We have had 7 chickens hatch to this point!! The students and I are so excited about the progress of our hands on chicken experiment. We have held them and nurtured the baby chickens as they enter life and join our classroom. Below are some of the pictures of us enjoying the babies that have been before our very eyes! It's an incredible process that we've had the opportunity to witness!! We hope that you enjoy viewing our pictures as much as we've enjoyed having the experience.

Animals, Eggs, Incubators

We are starting our last science unit for the year ~ animals. We will be hatching eggs within the classroom. We are learning about several types of animals and insects. We are going to hatch chicken eggs, watch the change from caterpillar to butterfly, and learn about several other smaller insects and animals.  Below is a picture of our incubator and a chart we made comparing living and nonliving things. We hope to get the eggs early this week...
