The Chicks are Here!!!
Teachers March 27th, 2008I’m sure the kids have told you, but if not, we have 24 chick eggs staying warm in an incubator in our class. So if all goes as planned, we’ll be watching them hatch around April 14th!!! We are learning so much about the life cycle of a chick and how to take care of them. It is very excited and the kids have so many questions.
Here are a few things the kids of 2OL are wondering.
How many eggs does a hen lay at once? – Anna
What do chicks eat? – Gabby
How can you tell the difference between a breakfast egg, and an egg with a chick growing inside? – Dana
Were chicks related to Dinosaurs? – Ryan
How long do chicks live? - Cooper
Do you know the answers to our questions?
We plan on finding these answers and more along the way. Stay tuned…

I remember when I hatched chicks in second grade. It was a very fun experience. I think that it is very cool that you have pictures of the eggs before they are hatched. Maybe you can put on a few pictures after they are they are hatched!

It’s really interesting to find out what you guys are learning about. I’m a fifth grader now, but I remember taking the chicks home and taking care of them! It was a blast! I think you second graders will have a lot of fun with the chicks.

Wow guys! Your blog is really cool. I like how you organized it into categories (teachers, students, ect.) I’m in fifth grade and have a brother that is in second grade.(but not in 2ol) I hope he gets to take home chicks too! Have a great rest of the year!

I think that a hen lays 1 egg at a time Anna, but good question!! After the eggs hatch, could you leave pictures of them on the blog? I can’t wait to see them!!! I remember when I was your age and I hatched eggs, we made diagrams of what the inside of the eggs look like. It was so much fun!!! Have fun!!!
