Hatching Ducklings

Last Wednesday, a mystery package was delivered to our classroom. After a little investigating, we were so excited to learn that we had an incubator used for incubating baby ducklings! We are getting ready to begin our life cycle unit, so our incubator couldn't have come at a more perfect time. We wanted to get started right away! I went to a farm to pick up 12 duck eggs. The next day, we placed our eggs in the incubator and began our journey to becoming adoptive duck parents. 🐣

We know that we have a lot to learn before our ducklings hatch! We need to learn about their life cycle and their development inside the egg. We have to to learn how an incubator acts as a mother duck so that we are sure to get our incubator settings just right. We also need to learn how to care for our feathered babies after they hatch. Check back.. We will keep you posted on this blog and our kid blog about our adventure!
