~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We have recently started our new science unit: Animal Life Cycles. Over the next 3 weeks, we will be welcoming 3 or 4 eggs into our classroom, which will hopefully hatch and thus having baby chicks. Students will be monitoring the temperature and humidity levels of our incubator, as well as be responsible for taking care of these baby chicks (if they hatch). We will be going over all the rules as a class on Monday and our expectations for the next few weeks with our baby chicks. Stay tuned!
