Just another day?!?!? NO WAY! Today was amazing!!!

 

We would like to formally announce the arrival of our first baby chick! There appears to be at least one more baby hatching so we will just have to wait and sewe what happens tomorrow! Can I tell you have very excited we were today? It was a day of celebration! Not only were they chicks hatching but we have officially finished meeting every alphafriend! Keep checking back for chick progress and updates, as well as what we will do next, now what we have finished learning the alphabet! Kindergarten is the place to be!!!

Hey, do you know what "going green" means?!?!?!

Such a BIG question for our little Kindergarten kids! The best part of working with kids is it doesn't matter if they know the answer or not, you will always get an answer! So in honor of Earth Day, we started the day with a question. What does "going green" mean? After the questions, we talked about Earth Day, what we can do to help, and to be in true Kindergarten form learned a song about the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! Isn't Kindergarten fun?!?!? We just love it! Happy Earth Day to you all!! Enjoy and help take care of our Earth that we like to call home!

HaTcHiNg EgGs In KiNdErGaRtEn!?!?!?

Of course! It is a great way to observe science in action and learn about life cycles and scientific observations and much more!! Our eggs arrived last Tuesday and we put a dozen different types of chicks into our incubator. We have learned so much about our chicks or what we now call the embryo's because we are such amazing scientists! In fact, we are becoming experts about chicks and their cycle of life. For example, it takes around 21 days for our chicks to hatch, they are currently being fed by blood vessels inside of the shell, they have a heart that is beating and the eggs need to be kept in temperatures around 100 degrees. It is such a fun time in Kindergarten! The kids love learning about them and even chose to sing "special" lullabies to them as they are busy growing, instead of playing in housekeeping and with Lego's. Can you believe it? Instead of Legos!!!!
