Today our surprise for the Kiwi kids (& Ms. Gooch) arrived... 10 wee chicken eggs are sitting in an incubator waiting to hatch in K3.
-It was very cute to find a bunch of kids doing their SSR to the eggs this morning (they are obviously taking their jobs as midwives seriously!)
By Friday they should have all hatched into chicks and during week 9 a lot of our patterns inquiry will be around the life cycle of chickens.
Please pop in and say hello to our 10 newest Kiwis and don't forget to email us any conversations you have with your kids about the eggs and chicks.
Next week we will be able to handle the chicks, so if you're free for a half hour or more to help out with this please let your classroom teacher know (or see me, Gina.)
From the Kiwi Teachers.
P.S. I saw one of the eggs wobbling in the incubator when I was leaving this evening....
This has been an eggciting and authentic learning opportunity for all the Kiwi children. Awesome job Kiwi Teachers, LAs, children and helpers!
