“A little rain never hurt anyone” was our motto today. We were successful finding the fire pit and walked a new trail. We then visited the brook to use our new nets and sifting pans the water was chilly but we still waded in a bit...some more than others! It was a fun day

Monday was our last Dairy in the Classroom. We had so much fun making a t-shirt and taste testing cheese. The cheddar cheese was our favorite. Miss Virginia asked us to wear our shirts when we take our field trip to a farm. Miss Rivers’ class also got to play with their baby chicks. They decided that they love them already. The chicken cam for her classroom is all set. You can go to this web site and watch the chicks. Ms. Ferland will be set up soon. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wA6ZsSGdLat What another exciting day of first grade we had! Ms. Ferland’s class finally had their chicks hatch and Miss River’s chicks continued hatching! A few of us even got to watch the hatchlings make their way out of their shells! In the afternoon, we were able to cheer on our peers at the elementary talent show. Everyone did such a nice job, including five of our own first graders! Our chicks are hatching. Miss Rivers’ class had two by the end of the day and eventhough Ms. Ferland’s class did not have any chicks, they did have a lot of peeping! Our brooders are all set and we are working with the IT department to get our chicken cam set up. Today for outdoor learning we made nest helpers. We included items we thought the birds might like to use to make their nests. Thanks for sending in the dryer lint! This week Miss Virginia talked about chickens and finished up making ice cream. We used a ball and had to roll it for a long time, but it was worth it. Next week will be her last week and we are currently trying to schedule a dairy farm visit. We are hoping to go when it’s a little warmer. We also are very busy with out egg hatching. We cracked eggs and studied the inside, learning why each part is vital to embryos. If you have an extra egg at home we are sure your child would love to show you what they learned. Mr. English came and candled our eggs. We have many babies on the way~a few that may be very small. We are anxious to meet them! Also, the mama guppy in Miss Rivers’ room had her babies......about 30! |
