Our first graders have an exciting announcement! They have baby chicks! Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Yoder, Mrs. Spring and Mrs. Stayrook began studying life cycles last week. Part of that study included these sweet baby chicks that hatched right in their classroom! Students made observations about how long the eggs took to hatch, the difference between the eggs being in an incubator versus in their natural environment, and what the chicks will need to survive. Students will help feed and care for the chicks until they are ready to go Mrs. Spencer's family farm. What a sweet and fun spring lesson!
