"Chick" Out What's Happening in the JCSD Preschool (Copy)

Ms. Michels’ preschool class has been learning about the life cycle of a chicken, parts of an egg and a chicken. According to Adventures in the Schoolhouse, “The lifecycle of a chick is approximately 21 days. The mother hen usually sits on her eggs for 21 days straight, while turning her eggs approximately 50 times per day. She will talk to her baby chicks inside the eggs as they are growing, and the internal temperature for the egg must be 99.5°F.” The Skinner family graciously donated eggs for the preschool class to try and hatch along with an incubator.

According to Ms. Michels, “We have 13-15 days left to see if we will have any luck. We did have to talk about that we aren’t eating the chicks once we hatch them lol! The kiddos are super excited to count down the days as we talk all about a chicken life cycle, the parts of an egg and a chicken.”

The class is anxiously awaiting the arrival baby chicks.
