Hatching Day!!!

Our babies were right on time. Yesterday when I left school, after picking my daughter up, there were no cracks! This morning when Lyla and I walked in there was a wet baby chick! When the bell rang and the kids came in they were so excited! Right away they decided the first chick's name should be Lucky!
We noticed a couple more eggs that had cracks after that! Egg #5 Egg #5 Egg #3 Egg #3 Around 9:15am when we were beginning Writer's Workshop the egg with the biggest crack started cracking even more. We sat and watched Fluffy come out of his egg! The students were so excited! Watching and Waiting! Go, go, go!! Fluffy! Fluffy is almost out! Fluffy Cracking! Newborn Fluffy!

After we got back from lunch we had the document camera set up so we could watch the incubator on the "big screen". On of my students noticed another chick was about to hatch. I had another student hurry down to get Mrs. Christofferson's class so they could watch. My students sat at their desks and watched on the big screen and Mrs. Christofferson's class sat by the incubator! Mrs. Christofferson's incubator quit working about halfway through our chick's cycle so they probably won't have their own chicks. We let them name the chick they saw hatch. Cuddles will go and live in their classroom tomorrow before they go live on the farm.
