Our Time of Chicks

Take a "Peep" at what's been happening in the 4th grade!

In the past weeks, we were given the opportunity to be part of chick hatching.  An incubator with chick eggs was in our room for several days while the eggs slowly hatched.  We could even hear the chicks chirping from inside the eggs!  48 hours after hatching, the chicks were moved to their "brooding box" where they were safe with food, water, and a heat lamp.  Students cared for the chicks for about a week, keeping them clean and playing with them in the classroom.  It was amazing how quickly they grew!
