...and on that farm he had some chicks







All in all, the experience with the hatching chicks was very successful. The children painted pictures of chicks, we read books about how they grow and what they need to survive; the children were so excited to see them and how they changed so quickly. By the time we sent them to a farm, they were already beginning to grow their feathers under their wings! I would highly recommend doing this project with your class or school. It was such a rich topic, and the children are still talking about it a few weeks on.
