We have had a few extra visitors in our room the past two weeks! The chicks were delivered and hatched last week.  We even saw one being hatched during dismissal! Each day we have made observations of the chicks and are learning how they get stronger each day.  Today we took them out of the Brooder Box and let them walk around with our groups. Some of the students named their chick.

On Monday we learned about Maple Sugaring with Ms. P.  We learned all the different tools needed to tap a tree and collect sap.  We can’t wait to see what we have collected in a few days!
