Fairy Gardens and Visiting Chicks!

We came in this morning to an amazing surprise from the wonderful Mrs. Keiver. She and her family created a beautiful fairy garden for us to enjoy in our classroom until it gets warm enough to take outside. The kids marvelled at the beautiful plants, the cute fairy land items and the incredible birds in the tree! This gave us awesome inspiration for our own fairy land building that we are planning. A HUGE big thank you to Mrs. Keiver :)

We also had the amazing opportunity to go to the Grade 2 classrooms, where a Grade 2 buddy walked us through a variety of Chick-related stations. We were able to see live chicks under the heat lamp,


learn about how a chick grows,

read stories about chicks,

look at the reports the Grade 2's wrote about the chicks, 


and even touch the chicks!


The grade 2 teachers even created amazing videos for us to watch of the chicks hatching from their eggs and moving around at night! Thank you to the Grade 2's for sharing your chicks with us today!
