An egg has hatched!  We have one baby chick in our classroom so far.  The chick is curious, playful and loud!

When the chick hatched in the incubator, it was wet and exhausted from pecking through the shell.  We put it in a habitat under a heat lamp, and in a few hours, the chick was dry and sleeping.  By the afternoon, it  was running around and peeping. Wow! 

We have learned that the chicks need food, water, shelter and space in order to survive.  We look forward to caring for them.
