I'm sure you have heard about the little chicks we have been watching hatch. They have been incubated for 21 days. Two have hatched today. We will soon be able to hold them in our hands, don't worry we will wash them after!

We have been learning what 'sticky chicks' are, it is when the chicks are scared because of a loud environment and then they will not survive. Whisper voices:) 

Visiting the chicks has been a privileged for the students. They are located in Mr. Monk's Grade 5 classroom. 

Stay tuned for more pictures as we get to visit each day! 

"We are saving the environment" - a direct quote from a student today!

We have been learning about ways to conserve energy and save the environment. 

Students said the following;

-turn the lights off when leaving a room

- turn the tv off when leaving a room

- recycle

- put your trash in the trash can

- turn the water off when brushing your teeth

- don't fill the bathtub full

Today we decided to help the environment by doing some 'spring' cleaning around our school. We cleaned 8 garbage bags of litter! We were shocked to find some recyclables in the garbage. 

We are headed to the large RED dumpster to throw in our garbage bags.
