Preparing for our Chick Unit

We started learning about lifecycles in school. We looked at photos of Mrs. Parnell growing up and changing and then looked at photos of her daughter Lindsay growing and changing. We watched two short videos of Ms. P from the Science Center meeting with the farmer and getting the eggs and then we saw the giant incubator at the Science Center that will be taking care of the eggs until they hatch. We will be watching more videos about the chicks and how they are growing and changing in their eggs and then we will be watching a live stream the week the chicks are supposed to hatch. We will be keeping a science observation journal to document the changes that the chicks will be going through. The students have been excited to learn about the chicks. We made a craft of a chick hatching out of the egg. We put one of our sight words on these eggs with the hope that all our students would participate in the Egg-citing sight word egg hun that Pine Glen kindergarten rooms 101 and 102 along with Mrs. Hoyts' remote K class. Addresses and word lists will be sent home soon and the hunt will be from March 20th -April 5th.


To top off our week we read the story the Wolf's Chicken Stew Keiko Kasza and we hunted for 100 chicks and recorded the chicks we found to practice recognizing, finding and recording numbers 1-100. It was a fun way to end our week.
