Typing Club:
As we are working more and more on computer these days it will be beneficial to have keyboarding skills. Please pick 2 times this week and have your child work on TypingClub for 10-15 minutes. This could be part of their morning routine. E.g. Wake up, wash your face, make your bed, get dressed and eat breakfast, then brush your teeth and log into Typing Club and work on keyboarding skills for 10-15 minutes.

Division 8 Students,
I have some sad news and some good news. I will start with the sad news. Over the past two days something has not been working well with the incubator and I am worried that the eggs may not hatch on day 21. I am going to keep these eggs in the incubator and see what happens but do not want to go all 21 days only to discover we do not have chicks.
Good News…… the farmer that I know has given us 12 more fertilized eggs and a new incubator to use. I have put these new eggs into the incubator, and we will start all over. Today will make us at Day 2. I will re-post the growth for each new day for you starting over.
I know you are writing in your chick journal in the perspective of an embryo growing in the egg. You are picking 2 stages from day 1- 9 and your rough copy for this is due today. By the time you finish your good copy next Friday we should be on Day 9 for our new chicks so we will continue from there. I hope you understand and hope you are still as excited as I am to invite these new chicks into the world. I will post a new Calendar for our Countdown.
Hello Division 8,
Just a message to let you know that the daily development of our Chicks is all caught up on the blog. You can find it under the heading “21 Days of Chicks” this is just under the top picture. Thanks for being patient! Lots has been happening to our chick embryos. They have been changing daily since Friday’s post. Our Chicks have been busy over the Easter Weekend developing their beak, digits, comb and feathers. Take a look! We will be posting the daily development now that we have our blog up and running. There will be a post here on the home page and then it will also be updated under the “21 Days of Chicks” heading.
Day 9: Today our chick will begin to open its mouth
Every day the temperature inside the incubator needs to be checked (usually I check it a few times a day. ) The temperature needs to be at 99 degrees Fahrenheit and this morning it was at 95 degrees Fahrenheit, so I needed to increase the temperature.
