Egg-citing Learning Is Hatching

Help me give my students the opportunity to hatch chickens with a chick incubator and brooder.

My Project

As spring is upon us, learning is still blossoming in Preschool! To foster excitement and learning we plan on hatching sweet baby chicks. The incubator requested will play a huge roll in the process of hatching the eggs and the brooder will keep our chicks safe once hatched. With little hands, we need to make sure they are in a safe place locked up where students can still view them for learning.

While hatching the chickens, students will learn about lifecycle, patience, and responsibility.

Being able to have this experience will make students look forward to learning and give personal ownership and responsibility.
