They were at second recess and they wrote down that people were playing so that if anyone was bored they could choose one of those places to go!

We are candling the eggs.  Candling means that we are putting them on a light so that we can see if they are fertilized or not.  So far what has developed are the eyes, nose, brain, tongue, wings, and the heart is beating.  They also have veins.  Tomorrow the embryos will be changing into a male or a female.  On day 6 the embryo will start moving.    

We are hatching chicks from these eggs. We put them in the incubator.  They will hatch in 21 days. An incubator is a pretend mother hen.   

These people picked a study and studied about it and shared it with the class on Flexible Friday.  Today was Flexible Friday.  

This is a quiz for you!!!  Read the label and then point to that part of the egg.  Do you know what the parts do?

These girls wrote what they thought their mothers would like for Mother's Day.
