Quail Chicks

Over the last month, the students and staff have been patient (and not so patiently at times) watching and waiting for our quail chicks to hatch.  We monitored the incubator, made sure the heat was at the right temperature and the humidity remained steady, and we rotated the eggs.  Finally, last week, the chicks hatched- 9 of them! It was a super exciting week.  The kids all got to gently pet the quail chicks and some even asked to hold them. It was well worth the wait.

















Some of the kids read to the eggs and chicks to make the happy.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.

 Fun in the Outdoor Classroom We continue to have fun and learn in our outdoor classroom. Last Tuesday we read an ABC book with alphabet photographs from nature. We then looked for and made our own letters out of nature. Check out the letters we made.
