My Project

My classroom is full of the most amazing first grade scholars who are eager to learn through hands on experiences each and every day. While learning about living and non-living things in Science class, my students will have a real life opportunity to engage with the materials we are requesting to make a difference in their learning experience. It will be exciting for students to learn about the life cycle of a chicken and watch it happen within the four walls of our classroom. Students will be able to incubate eggs, candle them to see their progress in development and growth, and then be a part of the magic when they hatch.
