OUR PEEPS ARE ALMOST HERE

Today turned out to be a wonderful, egg-citing day in room 109. Our eggs are beginning to hatch and we are beyond thrilled.

This picture says it all (We were just a wee bit excited).

 

Look closely for the chips and breaks in the eggs.

 

We had to celebrate with a 'Pipping Party'. Pipping is the term used to describe how the chick 'pips' through the egg to get out. Did you know that chicks break through their egg using an 'egg tooth'? Yes, they have one small tooth on top of their beak that is used to crack open the egg. It falls off quickly once they are completely out of the shell.

 

 I had some funny looks at the bakery when I told them what I wanted written on the cake ha ha.

 

We had a very special guest join us today....

 

Mrs.Hyland's son (Shane)

 

The children were very happy to share their learning and thoughts with him. He was a great help in the classroom and we hope he will be able to join us again soon.

 

 

That is all for today, however, 'chick' back tomorrow and we should have an incubator full of yellow fluff to share with you.
