HBE: Hatching Chicks

The 3rd and 4th graders in Ms. Monahan’s class have spent the last 4 weeks learning everything there is to know about hatching chicks. The students learned and journaled about embryo development inside the egg and watched and celebrated as each one hatched. The students were able to share what they have learned with nearly every class in the building, pre-k-5, through a slide presentation that they carefully put together. The students even charted the chicks’ weights and graphed their findings (even though some of the chicks weren’t too happy about the balance scale)! This was an unforgettable learning experience for both the students and the adults!
