This is the week where we all become parents! Our chickens will hopefully hatch between Wednesday and Friday. This is a very eggs-citing time but also know it can be a sad one. Not every chicken will survive the birthing process. This is the culmination to our life cycle that we have been studying. Privately without sharing this with our children, our upper and middle school science teachers will use the chicken fetus' that do not hatch to conduct their own experiments. All of Woodlawn will benefit from our chicken project. They are good about keeping it a secret too.
We will continue to use our chickens to learn all about writing, math, science and social studies. This hands on learning is one that your child will hopefully always remember.
