Hatch and Scratch Chicken Extravaganza

Help me give my students incubators and supplies for observing the lifecycle of a chicken.

This project expired on February 28, 2022.

Ms. Yorgason Odyssey Charter School
American Fork, UT Grades PreK-2

My Students

An introduction about my students would be that I have some students who are highly engaged and a few others who struggle with knowing why they are in school. All of my students are building a foundation of academic and social emotional learning that will affect them for the years to come.

We frequently focus on academics and strive to provide activities that will enhance learning and engage students at the same time.

The students love to learn and they also thrive on real life experiences where they can make connections. With the pandemic, many students are missing school or have fallen behind in some areas. Some students have parents who are getting divorced or are busy with other siblings. We'd like the children to feel happy and excited about learning!

My Project

The materials will make a great difference in our student's learning as they learn about the lifecycle of a chicken. Observing the lifecycle of a chicken can enrich the learning of the students. Students will be able to make connections with other lifecycles and record their observations in notebooks.

Students will observe the lifecycle of a chicken by observing, recording, and making connections with the topic across the curriculum.

Language Arts, math, fine motor skills will be incorporated as well as social emotional learning. Students will predict how long it will take to hatch chickens and record daily their observations (candling the egg).

I have an AM and PM class and it would be nice to be able to use the incubators for each class to make their observations (also if something doesn't go quite right maybe it will enhance the success of the chickens hatching and living). We will need crayons to color our observations, pencils that need sharpening with the pencil sharpener (we are in need of a new one).

We will use a heating lamp after chicks are born, chick feed and vitamins for their food, and wood chips for them to live on. Folders with sheet protectors can be used to save art projects or observations that they may journal in. If a child is ill, it can also be a means of transporting materials to and from home.
