Spring fever!!

By Miss Michelle

The chicks are here, the chicks are here! If any of you remember, we are incubating some chicken and duck eggs. We had a big surprise yesterday, a few eggs started to hatch! Of course they had to hatch on the day of the chili cook off, but thankfully it takes a long time for them to come out of their shells. The preschoolers as well as many other charter school kids were very excited to meet these baby chickens. We were lucky enough to get to actually see a chicken hatch from its egg! What an amazing experience for these children to see!! So today, we also made our own chicks for the preschool kids to take home with them. This week we will be learning more about chickens and ducks (which will hatch next week) and create lots of spring crafts!! I am so excited to get the chicks out of the incubator and put them in a box for the kids to closer examine! Prepare for lots of baby chick stories at home! Have a great rest of the day everyone! Also, a huge thank you to everyone that came to the chili cook off yesterday! It was a lot of fun and I am not just saying that because my jambalaya got third place!!! I love seeing how supportive this community is! Happy Monday!
