🐣 Egg-citing News from 2nd Grade! 🐣
Our second graders had an unforgettable experience thanks to the 4-H Embryology project! Over the past few weeks, our students have been learning all about the life cycle of chickens—from tiny eggs to fluffy chicks! 🥚➡️🐥
Watching the eggs incubate, learning about the science of hatching, and finally seeing those first little beaks break through the shells... pure magic. ✨
The room was filled with joy, curiosity, and so many “aww!” moments. This hands-on learning brought science to life in the best way possible. 💛
Way to go, little scientists—and thank you, 4-H, for this incredible experience! 💚
