3rd Graders Hatch New Learning Experience with Baby Chicks

Northpoint Elementary 3rd grade students have been learning about life cycles in a hands-on way.

Thanks to the generosity of a Northpoint parent who owns a farm, fertilized chicken eggs were donated to the classrooms. Over the past few weeks, students carefully weighed and monitored the eggs while keeping them in incubators.

This week, the chicks began to hatch. After hatching, the chicks were moved to a holding tank equipped with heat lamps to keep them warm.

Students are now observing the chicks and continuing to learn about their development.

Once the hatching process is complete, all chicks will be returned to the donor’s farm.
