Our chick eggs have arrived. We placed them in our classroom incubator yesterday afternoon. I have to keep the incubator at 99 degrees and flip the eggs throughout the day. I am supposed to make the eggs experience the same temperature and rotations as they would if they were under its mother. The chick eggs will hatch in 21 days. That seems like an eternity to the kids. They are really anxious to see baby chicks! I hope they hatch during the school week and not during the weekend. It looks like they should hatch on Tuesday, March 23. I will post pictures when they do!
Here are some quotes from the students about the chicks. The prompt was "Are you excited about the baby chick eggs? Why"
Chloe- "I’m excited because I had some before, and they’re going to turn really big and cute!"
Sara- "I can’t wait to finally see them! They’re going to be cute and fluffy!"
Aiden- "I know how the chicks get out of the eggs. They use their beaks to peck the egg. I saw that on TV."

Also, the boys and girls are at a pep rally right now to cheer on the basketball team. The pep rally is during their library time, so they were able to exchange books and Mrs. Robertson took them over to the high school. The boys play tonight at Park Hills. Go Mules!
