We have eggs!!

Over the past few weeks we have been learning all about oviparous animals and have specifically talked about chicks.  We have been reading a lot of books about eggs and chicks, written informative pieces about chicks, and have even acted out what it would be like to hatch out of an egg.  One of the most interesting facts that we have learned is that chicks have an egg tooth that help them hatch out of their egg!!  Today we got 5 chick eggs to put in our incubator!!  We are all so excited to see what is going to happen with our eggs.  The poem that we are reading this week is called Baby Chick by Aileen Fisher.  This poem describes the process of chicks hatching out of eggs.  We are going to be scientists to see if the process in the poem is the same as the process that we observe.  Here is a picture of our eggs and incubator!!

  1. I LOVE learning and teaching about chicks. Before this I had no idea what "oviparous" animals were! I love your idea of role playing hatching out of an egg...I will have to do that with my class this week:)
