My Project

I teach kindergarten in a rural area here in Idaho! Some of my students have seen chickens and chicks but many have never seen a chick hatch from an egg! I would love to provide this experience for my students! We will be doing a unit on the chicken life cycle, and I know that being able to see firsthand how life begins for a chick will add to the learning! Help me make this possible by funding my class with an incubator and chick brooder for once they are born! Thank you!

Mrs. Zenk will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
