Our Week In Review....Chick Edition



  What an exciting week we had in kindergarten! We started off the week by taking our eggs out of the egg turner and gently placing them back in the incubator. Little did we know that we would have our very first chick the next afternoon.  Chick number one hatched on Tuesday after the students had gone home.  By Friday afternoon we had 19 chicks!!! 

I would like to thank The Floyd County Retired Teachers Association once again for providing the funding for this special project.


Here is our first little feathered friend.



The chicks quickly out grew their tub and we had to send Mr. Craighead on an emergency tub run.


 They  are so happy in their new bigger home.


The students took turns reading to our babies.  We are going to have a bunch of smart little chicks!



We spent lots of time observing our new additions.


We celebrated our new arrivals with some "chick" cookies and by doing the "chicken " dance.


We had LOTS to write about this week.

"We had 18 chicks hatch."
"I love chicks."


"I will buy a chick."

Some of the students made pretend chicken coops out of blocks.  

Just look at these cute babies!


Our school will be starting raised gardens soon.  Kindergarten will have our very own garden.  We will be planting corn and carrots.  We started our seeds this week.





We also started a worm farm to observe and planted some bean seeds to watch sprout.



Our sunflowers that we planted a couple of weeks ago are growing fast.  We transplanted the flowers into separate cups.  We will also add these to our school garden.



We did a little "monkeying" around with addition and subtraction.


We had math outside on the tennis courts.  We soaked up some sun and practiced our math at the same time.




This week was so special.  We look forward to watching our new feathered friends grow in the days to come.


Have a wonderful week!
