Watch a chick hatch!

I was able to capture a video of one of our chicks hatching today. You can hear how excited students were about this! I had to keep the incubator in a protected location, so that it wouldn't get bumped and jostled during incubation. It's sitting at our writing station near the main classroom door. It was safe there, but it made for some strict rules about crowd control around the incubator. It was hard, but children did a good job of waiting to be invited up to the incubator, even when they knew big things were happening inside. Fortunately, we had a lot of hatching action today, so everyone got a glimpse. 

This video shows one chick hatching...you will hear just how excited everyone got (and me doing crowd control)! I love what Alexis says at the end. Listen for it. :-)
