Some exciting things happened in the classroom while we were out for Easter break! Cally's Mom had offered to do a "hatching chicks" experience with the girls, and I was beyond thrilled about it. I have always wanted to go through the process of having eggs in the classroom, and see them hatch into chicks. Since Cally's Mom is experienced with working with chickens, it was the perfect year to do it. Over break, she set up a mini incubator in the classroom. Needless to say, when the girls spotted the eggs today, they were quite ecstatic (when are they ever NOT ecstatic you may ask? :P)! Of course, this will be a few weeks' process, so we'll see how patient they are! They were already asking me today if the eggs were hatching into chicks yet....oh dear :-)
Figures that the caterpillars would choose Easter break to enter the chrysalis stage. :-) I was a bit bummed that the girls didn't get to see the caterpillars hanging upside down, beginning the whole process, but they really didn't seem to be bothered by it. They were just excited that we could finally move them to the butterfly pavilion! It is just one step closer to seeing them turn into butterflies!!
