The last week

This was a pretty exciting week for the students in my Kindergarten class. The eggs in the incubator finally hatched! I'm sure you can imagine how exciting it was for the students. The week prior to the hatching the students predicted how many eggs would hatch. This turned into a great math lesson as the students tried to figure out which prediction was the closest and by how many. My CT then went over the directions for how to handle the chicks. The students were eager to hold the chicks so they were very good listeners. They obviously knew that if you didn't listen then you wouldn't get a chance to hold the chick. Only one of the students didn't want to hold one. He just watched as the other students took their turn. This was such a great experience for the class as many of the students had never had the chance to see this process. This week we also celebrated Earth Day. We read books about Earth Day, discussed ways to help keep the Earth clean and then made our own Earth Day shirts. The students wrote on the shirt with a Sharpie and I painted over them. They turned out really cute. As a culmination to the week they wore their Earth Day shirts on Friday.
