When he brought them in Jason said, “He was so excited when he first saw the eggs.”  He also said the color of the eggs were white. The first thing they did with the eggs was x-ed them, o-ed them, and turned them. They put x-s and o-s on the eggs to tern them everyday. They had to hold the eggs everyday, one time everyday. He also said, “Incubator kept the eggs warm.” Candling is to see what was in the eggs. Jason saw a chick and the yoke. The baby chick grew by getting bigger and bigger.

            Mr.Zupin gave the kindergarten class some chicken eggs for them to hatch. Adam  said he was very happy when he first saw the eggs. Adam also said that the eggs were white when they first got them. He said that the first thing they had to do was to put them in the incubator. He said an incubator is a thing that heats the eggs. The kindergarteners had to put x’s and o’s on the eggs and Adam had a question with that conceped in it and he said, “They were there so the chick knew where to come out”. Adam also had a question about what they did every day and he said they drew pictures of how big they got when they looked at the eggs during candling. He said they did it 16 times a day.

Feathery Guests in Mr. K’s Room
by Cameron

This year in Mr. K’s kindergarten class, the students hatched chicks.  Taylor  is a student in Mr. K’s class.

            Mr. Zupin gave them the eggs this year.  Taylor thought that the eggs were cool when he first saw them.  The eggs were blue, pink, tan, and white.  The first thing they did with the eggs is they marked X’s and O’s on either side of the eggs.  Then they leave the eggs in an incubator until they hatch.  “The incubator keeps the eggs warm and dry,” said Taylor.  They put the X’s and O’s on them so you know which side to flip them to next.  They flipped the eggs over three times a day.  He said that the way the chicks grow in the egg, is they eat the yolk and start to get bigger and develop.  Soon, they would be ready to hatch…

            Crack!  After Mr. K’s class had waited 21 days, the eggs finally hatched.  Peep! Peep! Peep! The chicks were finally out!  When they hatched, Taylor was exited.  He said that the boy chicks were dark colored and the girl chicks were light colored.  “After the chicks hatch, they eat some kind of seeds,” said Taylor.  He also said that they put silver coins like nickels and dimes in the water and seeds so the light would reflect off of them and the chicks would be able to see their seeds and water better.

             Taylor’s favorite thing about hatching eggs this year was that they got to hold some of the chicks after they’d hatched.  Hatching eggs in the kindergarten classroom was a good idea, and all the kindergarteners had a barrel of fun doing it too!  All the kindergarteners to come should get this great chance as well!   

CHICKA-DEE-DEE-DEE
by Eric

This year Mr. K’s class has baby chicks. Dalron  is a student in Mr. K’s Kindergarten class. 

Don Zupin brought the eggs to the class and Dalron knew they were baby chick eggs. Dalron says the eggs were white and said, “The first thing we do is put the eggs in the incubator.”  They put x’s and o’s on the eggs to know which side to turn them on once a day. The incubator warms the eggs and candling is when you can see the chick inside the egg. Dalron said the incubator heat makes the little circle in the egg grow.

It takes 21 days for the eggs to hatch. Dalron was happy to see the eggs hatch. The color is how you can tell the boys from the girls. The coins are in the chicks’ food and water so they can see it. They eat seeds. Dalron says, “The best part is knowing all the chicks hatched.”

Dalron knew a lot about the eggs. It was a neat project.

Scrambled Eggs!
by Anna

          This year the Kindergarteners hatched eggs. Chloe is a student in Mrs. Lyman’s class.

          A farmer brought in the eggs for the class. When Chloe saw the eggs she thought they were cute. She said the eggs were white and brown. The first thing they did with the eggs was put x’s and o’s on the eggs. The reason you put x’s and o’s on the eggs is because you flip them every day.

Chloe said, “We flipped the eggs 20 times a day”. The incubator is so the eggs stay warm. She also said she candled the eggs. Candling is when you can see what’s inside of the eggs. Chloe said she saw them grow each and every day.

          It took 20 days for the eggs to hatch. Chloe thought it was going to take a long time. Then when it finally happened she was very excited. Chloe said, “The boys are dark and the girls are pretty.” The coins are in the food and water bowls so they can see were it is. The chicks eat grind. Or as Chloe likes to say it pre chewed corn. Chloe said her favorite part was watching them hatch. One time when the class was watching the eggs one jumped on Chloe. Chloe said it was weird.

by Elijah

          This year Mrs. Lyman’s kindergarteners watched chicken eggs turn into baby chicks! Nick is a student in Mrs. Lyman’s class.

 He thought that Mr. K gave the class the eggs. It is really a man named Dennis Zupin. At first he thought that they were baseballs. He said the color of the eggs were, Green, red, and brown.” Nick thought that they had to paint them. They had to put the X’s and O’s on the eggs, because that is where they will be born. Every day they had to turn the eggs. Nick thought that they had to turn the eggs one time a day. It really is three times a day. He said that an incubator keeps the eggs warm. Believe it or not he got it right. It dose sound like lighting a candle, but it really is putting the egg in a cylinder and seeing what’s in the egg. When they candled it they saw the chick. The baby chick grew because it eats the yoke in the egg.

It takes 21 days for the chick to hatch. Hick said it was 29 but it really is 21. He was surprised when the egg hatched. Nick thought that the daddies were the black ones and the girls are the brown. Nick said there were coins in the water he said they absorb heat. He said the chicks eat “baby chicken food of course.”

 Nick liked hatching the eggs in class. He said he wanted to hatch them again.

The Neighbor Chicks
by Devin T.

      This year Mr. Ks class hatched chick eggs. Aaron is in Mr. Ks class. The person that gave them the eggs was a tall girl. Aaron thought it was cool when he first saw the eggs. The colors of the eggs were white and some were brown.

     The first thing he had to do with the baby chick eggs was that Mr. K gives the eggs food and water because it gets cold. Aaron’s class put Xs and Os on an egg so they know what side to turn them. Something that they had to do everyday is flip the eggs. They had to do it nine times a day. Aaron said the incubator heats the eggs.

     Aaron was interested in candling. He said it was when they put them in an oval and then a light pops up and then you can see what is happening inside the egg. Aaron could see yolk in the egg but some didn’t have yolk. Aaron said that the heat makes the chicks grow. Aaron said that it takes twenty one days for the eggs to hatch. Aaron felt happy that the eggs finally hatched.

     Aaron said the way you tell the girl chicks from the boy chicks because the girls are yellow and the boys are black. Aaron said the coins are in the chick’s food and water so they know where it is. They feed the chicks bird food. The thing that Aaron liked most about hatching eggs is when the hatched. It was a lot of fun interviewing Aaron. He was glad the eggs hatched.

Baby Chickens
by Kyle

            This year in Mr.k’s kindergarten class the students hatched chicks. Keira is a student in Mr.K’s class.

            Mr.Zupin is the person that brought the eggs into Mr.K’s class. Keira was very excited when she saw the eggs “she said they were white and brown”. Keira said the first thing they did was put them in the incubator  and she said you put the x’s and o’s on the egg is so you know when to turn them something you have to do every day is  turn the eggs 3 times a day. the incubator is the thing  that makes the eggs hatch  and candling is you turn off all the lights and see inside  the egg . Keira could see the baby chick  and it ate the yoke  for food. She said,

“ The eggs hatch in 21 days!”. Keira said she felt excited when  she saw the eggs and she said the girl chicks are light and the boys are dark.

The coins are in the water and food so the chicks can find their food  the baby chicks eat crumbs. Keira said she liked it a lot when the chicks hatched and when they got to hold the chicks. Keira thought the chick project was fun.
