I hope you all had a hip, hoppin' Easter with your family and friends! Wowie, the Easter bunny greeted us with lovely rays of sunshine :) I had my family visiting from the city and we enjoyed many wonderful walks, talks and delicious meals. Ohhh, and dark chocolate ... mmmmmm!
I'm excited to see your child back at school for another exciting, purposeful and FUN week! They brighten and highten many of my days with their smiles, laughs and brilliant thinking!
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mrs. Johnston back to our Classroom Community! She is an integral part of our daily learning and has demonstrated tremendous support and care for each learner. We're delighted to have her return - she'll also be introduced to our Chick Learning!
Speaking of Chicks, below you will find a link that I've shown your child in class! It's a file that provides slides of the development of a chick embryo! We've discussed the various stages of the baby chicks development, ask your child the following to help reinforce learned concepts:
- What is the egg tooth and why is it important? (lump on beak, chicks uses it to peck its' way out)
- What is the purpose of the rotator? (turns eggs so both sides are heated)
- What is the incubator? What is it pretending to be? (fertilized eggs are kept warm as the incubator is pretending to be the mother hen)
- How many days does it take for a chick to hatch? (21 days)
- What is the function of blood vessels? (carry blood and nutrients to the embryo)

I can do no great things, only small things with great love. Mother Teresa
