🐣🌟 Exciting News from Mrs. Henry's Classroom! 🌟🐣 The little chicks are finally making their grand entrance into the world! 🥚 It all started with a careful inspection using a light to candle the eggs. The class wanted to see which ones were developing the fastest. Fast forward to early Tuesday morning, and the hatching extravaganza began! 🐥 By the end of the day, they welcomed a whopping seven adorable chicks. 🥳 Mrs. Henry set up a live stream so everyone on campus could share the joy of watching our fluffy friends hatch and take their first steps into the world. 📹 It's been quite the popular show! They've already had a steady stream of visitors in the classroom, to witness the chicks hatching. 🤩
