ATTENTION! EGGS ARRIVING SOON!

Attention!
Deep Learning is happening in Grade 1!
We Are Hatching Eggs!

Dear Parents,
On Monday, April 16th, chicken eggs will be delivered to our Grade One classes.  As you can well imagine, the children are very excited about this very special hatching experience.  Over the next 21 days, the children will be participating in a number of egg and chicken related rich tasks including:
  • The Life Cycle of the Chicken
  • Egg Candling
  • Development of the Growing Chick
  • Parts of the Egg and Chicken
  • Egg Experiments
  • Story Writing
  • Non-fiction Reading and Writing
  • Reading fictional Chicken stories

The chicks will be hatching during Education Week, giving the children the opportunity to experience firsthand the lifecycle of the chicken and share their experiences with their families.

Over the next 3 weeks the children will become familiar with the following words.  There will be no Word Wall Words for the next 3 weeks.  Instead, the children can review the following Chicken themed words:
body bird beak baby brooder crack
chicken dry egg feather food fluffy
fly grow hen hatch lay nest
peck quickly rooster ready rest shell
wet incubator heat warm


Yours in Catholic Education,
The Grade One Team
