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.
Sing along with the students at the ONU Community Preschool: "When dogs get up in the morning this is what they say...they say..." Dr. Terri Lenzo, music education professor at ONU, leads some singing at the preschool. Students chose the animals in the next verses. There were cats, tigers, lions and even catepillars. You'll need to ask one of the students what the catepillar says in the morning.
You've heard the term Ada Chats, and you're still not sure what it means? We invite you to join us for the last Ada Chats of this semester, Wednesday, April 12th, 3:30p.m. at Heterick Memorial Library, ONU. Can't make it, or bummed you've missed past chats? Check out the link for videos from past presenters.
If the yellow daffodil is Ada's flower of April, then forsythia is the bush of April. Here's close up of the first April bush bloomer at New Leaf, rural Ada.
