EJR fourth-graders learned all about chicks this spring and had the opportunity to share that knowledge with the younger students.
Lauren Nemeth’s class and Patricia Van Leuven’s class had the fertilized eggs incubating in their classrooms for the 21 days (or so) that it takes to develop, then started seeing the chicks emerge, pecking through their eggshell, which is tough work for them.
When the chicks were all here, classes came by to see them and pet them. The fourth-graders shared their newly-found knowledge about chicks with the younger students and watched closely as they all got to enjoy the little fluff balls.
Some had pretty interesting names too – Chic-Fil-A, Mr. Cluck Cluck, KFC, Gary.
What a terrific experience for all. And oh so fun!
