Egg Arrival Day!



The students were so excited this morning when they came to class because today is ARRIVAL DAY!  We have received 30 fertilized chicken eggs from local farmer Shawn. The students were very excited to discover that chicken eggs come in so many different colours!  We have green eggs, brown eggs, a speckled egg, beige eggs and only 1 white egg! The eggs have been placed in the incubator pointy side down and numbered 1-30. The temperature in our incubator is steady at 99.5 degrees F. We will plug in the egg turner tomorrow which helps to keep the eggs warm on all sides. Tomorrow our student scientists will record all of their observations in their chick journals (number of eggs, colours, etc.).  In math class, we will work through an 'egg' addition word problem using pictures, numbers and words.  In Language class, we will be introduced to the remainder of the chick unit vocabulary that was in the newsletter that was sent home (we did the first half last week). We continue to record our thinking on our ''I Wonder' and 'I Have Learned' posters.
