Hatching Chicks

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

In first grade we learn about life cycles. Our favorite to learn about is chicks because we get to hatch them in our classroom, take care of them, and play with them! The students in Mrs. Liddle’s 1st grade class had too much fun playing with the chicks!
