We have had a wonderful week of petting our new friends, Lucky and Cookies, and watching them grow. It is amazing to see how much they have grown in only two weeks! This week we set up a larger pen for our chicks in the classroom. They stay in their box at night, but come out into their pen during the day. We are taking turns joining them in their pen and learning how to handle them gently.
Today Lucky and Cookie came out into the classroom so the kindergarteners could draw them. We are going to include these drawings with a letter we are sending to Russell Elementary Kindergarten. Russell Elementary Kindergarteners have hatched chicks in their classes as well and we are beginning to correspond with them about our shared interest in chickens!
