Had to add these. As always, the kids comments and commentary make it just too adorable! To hear their amazement, their excitement and witness this event through their eyes makes this project unique and precious every year. It never gets old and it always humbles me. I hope you enjoy these videos and pictures. Make sure you watch them with your children and families. For the next three short videos you need to understand a few things. One, the children named the eggs/chicks before they hatched. One chick had just hatched (that chicks name was BABY and belongs to the girl you hear in the video). The chick that is pipped and is hatching belongs to the boy you hear in the video. He named his egg/chicken SALAD. I did not make this up. He came up with this independently the week before. I don't know if chicken salad is his favorite sandwich or what, but he was very firm on SALAD for the name. So, those are the names you hear them saying in the three videos. Each video is only about a minute long. Get ready to giggle!

| Ms. Sarah, our own Mama Chick. She took all nine baby chicks home this weekend and she and her niece Tina (who volunteers in our classroom when not in class at college) took wonderful care of the babies so they could come back and play with us for another week. Thank you! |
