Our kindergarten students recently had the opportunity to observe and participate in the egg hatching process, bringing science to life right before their eyes. From learning about incubation to watching the chicks hatch, this experience gave students a deeper understanding of life cycles, responsibility, and the wonders of nature.
Moments like these create excitement for learning that goes far beyond the classroom. We love seeing our students engaged, curious, and making real-world connections every day.

Thanks Lindsey Scribner for the ice-cream.
