My Project

Hatching chicks every spring is an immediate favorite in our 2nd grade classroom! The students learn an incredible amount from this unit and the science questions are endless. They develop an empathy and love for animals that I cannot replicate without doing this experience.

Please consider helping us purchase some books and supplies that will enrich and help carry out this unit.

By hatching chicks in the classroom, my students are able to learn about life cycles, and learn how to care for and nurture living things. Students learn and expand their science vocabulary and have an experience they never forget!
