Life Cycle for Tiny Learners

Help me give my students preschool supplies to hatch chicken and duck eggs!

My Project

How many children can say they have witnessed a chicken or duck hatch? My students are the youngest learners, but that doesn't stop them from gaining valuable experiences while they are with me. In preschool, children explore many different life cycles, including that of chickens. For the past four years, I have been incubating eggs to allow my students to observe the process of incubation and the excitement of hatching.

This year, multiple teachers at my school have expressed interest in participating in the egg-hatching project!

With more teachers involved, we have a greater demand for supplies. We are requesting two additional incubators, two brooders, bedding, food, and other supplies necessary for caring for the chicks. Thank you for your support!
