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!!!!
