Chicken Life Cycle

Help me give my students Chicken Life Cycle Exploration That They Will Never Forget!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Klabacha's classroom raised $163

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me teach my students (kindergarten-1st grade special education) the life cycle of a chicken. This year we are incubating chicken eggs and we would love more visuals to help our students learn. Having visuals and hands on materials helps my special education class better understand what is happening throughout the chicken life cycle stages.

Eye Catching Visuals Keep Students Attention and Focus.

Students struggle with understanding what they cannot see. With these visuals, students will see what is happening inside the egg although they cannot see it happening.
