I teach 100 low-income Pre-K students every day (20 in each of 5 classes). I teach primarily science for 50 minutes to each class and they love it! My students love learning about the world around them. It is real, engaging, and I try to bring as many hands on activities to them as I can. I teach in 2 schools, with a total of 3 classrooms. I have been incubating chicks with some of my classes for a few years. The students learn so many things, like counting the hatching days, watching the chickens grow through photos, "peeking" inside by candling the eggs, writing about the process, and watching the chicks pip their way out of the eggs! They care for the chicks for about a week until they are returned to the wonderful farmer who shares her eggs with us. I have purchased one incubator with my own money, and one school has purchased one. Another incubator would allow ALL my classes to have this experience.
