The Kindergarten class has been having quite a fun and engaging unit over life cycles. They got to hatch chicks in their classroom! They saw the eggs being put in the incubator, candled the eggs, and watched the chicks hatch. Additionally, they made chick life cycle hats and completed a chick log. So far they have 8 chicks with one hatching still. They loved this project and have been so excited throughout the entire process. Thank you so much to Courtney Barrera and Kenzie Grant for donating eggs and an incubator.
Our students are loving their prizes! Karley Larson was our 1st winner of the Book Blast Treasure Chest stuffed with cash! For those families that still want to participate, hoist your ship’s sails and register here: https://app.booksarefun.com/NewellES57760. Your adventure awaits!
