Day 4

Today is day four. Our eggs are well on their way to developing into chicks. A few classes stopped by to observe the changes to the eggs since Friday. With STAAR testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, their observation time will be very limited.

 

Mrs. Olson's class came down at the end of the day to see what developments took place over the weekend. It was so wonderful to hear all their conversations about what they've already learned about the chick life cycle.

 

So let's catch everyone up....

Day 2 and BIG things are already happening. At less than 48 hours into the incubation period, these chicks have begun to develop their hearts and ears. Their heart even begins to beat!!

Day 3 brings the development of their noses, wings, and legs. They should have feathers on their wings in the next several days.

And last but not least, the Day 4 egg. At this point our little chicks have begun to develop their tongues. How cool is that?!?!

 

 

 Having the chick eggs on campus has everyone EGGS-cited!! We'll be sure to keep our updates coming!
