**Our Chick eggs arrived last Tuesday. We’ve observed the eggs for a few days and talked about how to take care of them before they hatch. On Monday we will wait for our 11 eggs to hatch. If we are lucky, I’m hoping to be able to zoom a hatch in the classroom. We will continue to observe the growth of the chicks this week.
**We also will look at a new lesson in SS- The First Thanksgiving.  
 

Have a great week!
