My Project

We are eager to embark on an educational journey that involves hatching chicken eggs right here in our kindergarten classrooms! This hands-on project aligns with kindergarten science standards and offers our students an immersive and memorable learning experience. Hatching chicken eggs with an incubator provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for our young learners to witness the life cycle firsthand, fostering a deep understanding of the natural world.

Beyond reading books and watching videos about the life cycle, kindergartners will engage in daily observations, documentation, and discussions about the hatching process, honing their skills in scientific inquiry and critical thinking.

This project also naturally integrates with other subject areas, including language arts, mathematics, and even social studies. Students can document their observations through drawings and journals, enhancing their communication skills.

By caring for the eggs and newly hatched chicks, students develop a sense of responsibility and empathy, aligning with broader educational goals focused on character development. We thank everyone who considers donating to our egg hatching project. We just know our kindergartners will love this experience!"

Mrs. Decker will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 27.
