Students with the Chicks

Here are photos we took during our chick party!

Wrapping Up Our Chick Unit

Today was the final day of our chick life cycle science unit! Students worked hard finishing their All About Chicks books (which we bound), folders of learning about the chicks, and quadrammas showing the parts of the life cycle. This afternoon we had a chick send off party where students shared their work with family members and got to hold the chicks before the chicks' send off! Our chicks have now moved back to the farm at UVM to be part of the 4H program.

The big bucket of chicks ready for their trip back to the farm!

Finishing up our chick projects this morning.

The Chick Are Here!

Our first grade chicks have begun to hatch! It takes 21 days for chicks to develop inside of their eggs and today is day 21 of our incubation! Some chicks began hatching yesterday (our class had 3 hatch a day early) and many more had hatched by the time I got to school this morning. Our class had 13 eggs and currently have 11 hatched chicks. There is one egg I predict will be a dud based on candling so we shall see about the 12th egg. Stay tuned for more photos and we hope that families can join for our chick celebration on Friday afternoon!

Students are creating All About Chicks nonfiction books!
