Last week, the third grade classroom received eggs to, hopefully, hatch. Today, we candled a couple eggs to see where the light shone through and where growing chicks blocked the light. Every day three pairs of students from 3rd and 4th grades act as the mother hen's feet to rotate the eggs. The incubator provides warmth and humidity. It will be an exciting time in mid-March when some of these eggs hatch!
