Kindergarten Chicks

A post by Adam, as documented in his chick journal- 

The days are in the inkubater.  The inkubater is rocking the eggs.  In 21 days the eggs will hatch!

*****

Mrs. Johnson put the eggs on a candler.  In 5 days the eggs will hatch out of the eggs!  I saw a vein and a bunch of feathers.  (His illustration shows chicks named Lovey, Happy, Billy Bob Joe, Jumpy, and Spot.)

*****

Today 2 chicks hatched!  1 is super close to hatching!  the 2 that have hatched are named Chirpy and Chicky.  They keep running around!

*****

Today the chicks went back to the farm.  :(  A few days ago we got to hold the chicks.  I got to hold Chirpy.  One chick died a few days ago.

A few extra thoughts (by Mom) 

Adam came up with the name Chicky.  The class voted on lots of names and his name was one of the winners. 

Adam didn't want to write about the chick that died, but then he decided he wanted to remember it, so he wrote about it (a junior blogger in the making- write to remember).

Mrs. Johnson told the class that the chicks weren't hatching because the class was being too loud.  When they were quieter the next day, two chicks hatched.

Having chicks hatch in class was one of Adam's most favorite parts of kindergarten so far.  I love that he gets to have these kinds of experiences at school.
