THE CHICK UNIT HAS BEGUN!!!

The first graders begin the Life Cycle of a Chicken


The first grade teachers have developed a wonderful science unit that focuses on the life cycle of oviparous (my big word of the day) animals. Currently, each first grade class has about 18 eggs in their classroom that are due to hatch on May 6th. They are learning many things about hens, roosters, and chicks then using this knowledge to create different types of projects about the life cycle of chicks. Today, with the help of many parent volunteers, the students created plaster of paris eggs with chicks hatching from them. They were very excited and enjoyed this project very much. You will be able to view this project when you come to OPEN HOUSE next Wednesday, April 23rd from 6:30 - 8:00. Have a wonderful weekend!
