We started learning about lifecycles in school. 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 have eggs in our classroom incubator to watch the chicks 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 will make a craft of a chick hatching out of the egg we will write about our chicks.
On Tuesday, Ms. Pavlicek came to Pine Glen and did the Science Center Chick Show. Ms. P. showed us all the different parts of the egg and talked to us about the life cycle of a chicken. We got to meet two of Ms. P.'s chickens from her coop at her house, and Addie pretended to be the hen and then she sat on her clutch of 10 eggs! Student also participated in learning the different sizes of eggs laid by different birds. The students are very excited about the chicken eggs coming to our classroom on Monday, April 6th and the eggs should start hatching Tuesday - Thursday, April 7th- 9th (after the 21 day incubation).
