Happy Earth Day---With Chicks!
Throughout our day, we witnessed the hatching of our baby chicks! The children were able to see them crack their shells, break out of their shells, and watch them gain strength enough to be put into our box! Two are in our brooder box. One is still drying off in the incubator. Three more are "pipping" as we speak! Monday will be full of excitement, meeting the final chicks!

Learning from Second Graders
In our building, many different classes are learning about chicks and their life cycle! We were invited to come to Miss Deering's second grade class and learn all about this exciting science topic! Her second graders took the students around in small groups to different stations. The kindergartners learned about the inside of the egg, incubation, listened to different "chick" stories, graphs about different eggs, and even saw real, live baby chicks! It was a wonderful learning experience for our students, correlating with our own classroom hatching experience! Enjoy the pictures of the event below.

Happy Earth Day!
This week we learned all about the importance of taking care of our Earth. In library, they learned about Plastic Island (a real place) and the importance of recycling, reusing, not littering, and more. The children wrote their pledge on a handprint and placed it around a poster that Mrs. Wilson created for us (see pictures below). We also completed a fun art project in our classroom, making Earth out of coffee filters, markers, and water. Finally, we spent some time cleaning up our playground on Friday. We made sure to do our part keeping our Earth clean. Happy Earth Day!
