So many hands on learning experiences happening 4th grade right now. But I think is the core memory they will always treasure… our chicks have arrived!! Geist Elementary Hamilton Southeastern Schools #ALLin

We’ve been researching different animal life cycles to compare to the life cycle of a chicken. 26 students with 26 different animals building 26 different PowerPoint slides!! 🤯 Geist Elementary Hamilton Southeastern Schools #ALLin

Some of my favorite moments with the chicks happen after school ❤️ I look over and find my son, who has been apart of the chicks unit for the majority of his life, petting a chick and taking care of the brooder as they are his own pets 🐥

Love sharing our chicks with other classes too! Getting to see a live animal up close is such a powerful learning opportunity Geist Elementary Hamilton Southeastern Schools #ALLin

First field trip to the great outdoors for the chicks today. We held a special community circle in the grass so they could explore & feel new surroundings! So many giggles & smiles 😁 Geist Elementary Hamilton Southeastern Schools #ALLin
