The Chick Eggs Are Here!!

On Wednesday, we set our chick eggs for our Life Cycles Unit.  The students are SUPER excited about this unit!  Nurse Kelly joined us for the cleaning and the setting of the eggs into the incubator.  She did a quick mini-lesson on how to keep the eggs and our hands clean to produce a healthy hatch.  We should have some baby chicks in about 20- 21 days.
Each day your child will enter in a journal the development of the chick embryo.  (I have many great websites we will visit to get a closer look)  Every child will also be an "officical" egg turner for a day.  We turn the eggs 3 times a day.
