Chip and Salsa
Month: May 2017
Hatched!
The students were so excited today! We saw cracks on the eggs this morning, and by this afternoon, one little guy had pecked his way out! More to follow…
Hatching soon
We have been reading lots of stories about chickens and other oviparous animals. We have been visiting Ms. Gourlay’s classroom every few days to observe the eggs in the incubator. Sometimes Ms. Gourlay reads a story to both of our classes. Today, she read a funny one titled, “Chicks and Salsa” – the chickens get tired of the same old chicken feed and decide to try some new foods! Soon, all the animals decide to plan for a fiesta with chips and salsa! After the story, we ALL got to try some chips and salsa! Some kids were trying chips and salsa for the very first time.
“It was the best!” H.S.
“It was salty, but I still like it.” A.L.
“It was a little bit spicy, but I liked it!” K.S.
“I loved it!” E.Y.
“It was a tiny bit good…” A.O.

We look through a special scope that allows us to see inside the egg! Then we draw and write about our observations in our booklets. The eggs are due to hatch any day now…
What’s Hatching?
Division 7 and 8 are studying a new theme this month. We are little scientists and we are learning about oviparous animals. Last week, three eggs arrived at our school. We will get to see how these eggs hatch! The eggs are slightly larger than the ones we usually eat at home. They will take approximately three weeks to hatch. The eggs are safely stored in an incubator in Ms. Gourlay’s classroom. We will visit them every 2-3 days to make an observation about the eggs and write down some notes in our observation booklets, as scientists do.
Ms. Gourlay and I are keeping it a secret. What animal do you think is inside? “Hopefully not a dinosaur,” said a kindergarten student.
