Chick It Out

The 3rd grade classes at Oakdale (as well as other schools in the district) recently had the fun and exciting experience of hands on learning about turning an egg in an incubator into a chick.  I'm sure there is some kind of scientific term for that.  The eggs come from a local farm and the program is sponsored by 4H.  Each class had an incubator and 12 eggs.  2 of her class' eggs did not hatch.  Every 3rd grade student was given a bright yellow shirt that they wore every Tuesday in the month of April.

Shelby came out of school crying on the last Friday of the program.  She knew when she went back to school on Monday the chicks would have returned to the farm.  Her teacher was kind to send me a picture and a short video.

Shelby, Calvin and Cy.  You can see the little yellow fuzzy guy over by Cy's knee (green t-shirt).  I love how their legs formed a pen for the little critter.  

Here is a 30 sec video.  They named their chick Hyper.
