Chicks!!

After that great field trip to Sandy Creek on Tuesday, we came back to baby chicks on Wednesday!  

 

We kept track of what was happening in our incubator throughout the day.  As you can see we had action throughout the day on Wednesday, with our last little friends arriving Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

By mid-morning on Thursday, we had all the chicks out of the incubator and ready to eat, drink, and play on their own.

The kids took time to hold and play with the chicks while, I got to clean out the cage!  (I think they got the better end of that deal!)

 

 

Thank you to all the families that took a chick!

Field Trip Fun!

Last week we had LOTS of excitement! 

First we went on our annual Field Trip to Sandy Creek Nature Center!  We had lots of fun learning about different plants and animals and their needs in the classroom and exploring nature on the trails around the nature center.  

First we got a little help from a friend to explore all the parts of a tree.

Then we got to touch, feel, and observe some of the attributes that make certain animals so unique.

Next was the nature walk.  We saw a snake, a mouse, lizards, and lots of cool insects.

Last--lunch!!

If you missed out on the fun, stop by Sandy Creek this summer and check it out for yourself!
