Students, well everyone actually, learn best when the material being learned can be related to real life things they see, do, and interact with. We have books, pictures, video, and so on, but there鈥檚 nothing as impactful as real world experience.
I am requesting hatching equipment and supplies for five classrooms to explore the life cycle with chickens! Having the equipment to hatch eggs in our classroom will allow the students to see the life cycle in real life as we follow the journey from fertilization to baby chicken. In time, a coop will be added to follow their journey to adulthood.
In addition, this helps me bring agriculture into the classroom - growing student familiarity with the commodity market of our state, where food comes from, and how vital it is to our community.
