Hatching chicken eggs in the classroom.

Over the past 3 weeks in our multi age classroom, we have been hatching chicks from eggs donated by several members of our community. This project has been excting and uplifting for students in this class as well as other classes.

Students have learned about the anatomy of a chicken egg, how long it takes to for an egg to hatch and what are the best conditions to have a successful batch of chicks. As well, learning to use MS Publisher, students have created informational pamphlets on how to hatch ckicks successfully.
