What shall we name the chicks?

Ada Kindergarteners learning about the chicken and the egg
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, April 5, 2017

Ada Kindergarteners in Kim Smittle and Bridgette Jones classes are learning a great chicken and egg story this month.

In a science unit, students are discovering the life cycle of chickens. Twenty-four eggs are in incubation in Mrs. Smittle’s classroom and as of April 5, three chicks hatched.

Mrs. Jones’ classroom also has eggs and they are still “sleeping.” She said, however, that students heard some cheeping coming from some of the eggs. So, it’s any day now.

The chicks will eventually have names. Those names will be selected by students, so stay tuned.
