School: Educational Resources
Be sure to take educational advantage of hatching chicks in your classroom. Here are some examples of educational resources for your classroom:
- Booklet for kids: We print these booklets (not a free resource) for every child. It has wonderful visuals and keep them engaged throughout the 21-day process.
- Vocabulary Cards: We use these cards to learn and practice using this relevant vocabulary throughout the project.
- Posters + more: There are wonderful visuals and other resources available. We use this in our classroom
- Plastic Life Cycle Eggs: We use these eggs to compare and contrast the difference of the chicks as they develop in their eggs. The children find these fascinating! It also helps us to disturb the eggs via candling less because we can better understand their development.
- Readers’ Theater: We love practicing reading with expression! One way to do that is through Readers’ Theater. Here is one passage we use during the chick unit.
- Chick Countdown: We keep a large countdown near our incubator. We love this one! We keep this one in the hallway so that other students in the school can keep track of the chicks’ development, too.
