Saturday morning in the chick house

The chicks seem to have grown a ton overnight! Hopper and Skinny, who both spent Friday in our chick hospital, are back in good health and socializing with their siblings. As the chicks grow older, they're getting mischievous! 3 more chicks have earned names:
Fearless, who frequently runs at the window of the chick house at full speed (perhaps hoping to escape)
Pecky, who bravely defends the food trough by pecking everything that comes close (fingers, cups, extra food, etc.)
and Trouble, who needs a little extra help learning CHOMP - I caught him dragging another chick around by the toe! Hopefully our kindergartners will be a good influence on Trouble!

What's YOUR favorite Oviparous Animal?

Our kindergartners studied a variety of oviparous animals through read-alouds and hands-on experiences.  With our student teacher Miss Amina's help, they wrote about their favorite oviparous animals and included two reasons for their opinion.  Then students recorded their opinion writing using PixNTell, an iPad app.  This project integrated reading, writing, science, and technology standards -- and was lots of fun too!  Thanks to Miss Amina, Ms. Gondek, and our technology specialist Ms. Starkey for all your hard work!

Enjoy!

Welcome Battle, Chick number 10!

Ms. Gondek caught our tenth chick on video just as he hatched. We've named him after Mr. Battle, our fantastic custodian and superhero extraordinaire for all of his help with the chicks!

Rise and shine!

 Seven more chicks hatched overnight! These pictures are from 7 am on 5/9. One chick is clearly older - look for the chick who looks more fluffy and dry. Norbert and Laoda look so grown up compared to their siblings!

Noisy eggs?!

Just listen to Laoda's and Norbert's siblings...I think they want to come out of those shells!

Norbert joins Laoda in the chick house

Norbert's gotten big and dry enough to move to the chick house with Laoda!
