Morgan's 3rd Grade Chick It Out Experience

The 3rd grade classes in the school district participate in a Chick It Out learning experience where incubators are brought in the classroom with the embryos and they learn about the life cycle of a chicken from the beginning...... not sure if they discuss it all the way to the end!  Each student receives a yellow t-shirt and they all wear them every Wednesday during the program.  History of the project reveals most of the chicks hatch while the students are out of the room.  Not necissarily over night but while at PE, music, art or IMC.  Morgan's class got lucky and were in the room when one hatched.  Morgan was extra lucky to be 1 of a few kids whose turn was to be looking at the eggs in the incubator when this chick hatched.  Every day I got an update about the chicks.  On this particular day she was so excited to tell me just how the chick came out of that egg.  She said, "I will never forget seeing that chick hatch for the rest of my life"!
I asked her teacher to take some pictures for me.

she said its wing was moving

These pictures were taken at the end of the day on the Friday that the program ended.  They stayed a few minutes after school to tell the chicks good-bye.  :(  The only negative comment I ever heard from her was the chicks could get awful noisy in the classroom while they were trying to learn!  Chirp, Chirp!!
