Life Cycle of a Chicken

This week we are on a much needed spring break. When we return to school on Monday we will begin a life cycle unit on chickens. Another kindergarten teacher travels to Charleston, SC to spend time with her family. Every year she returns from spring break with eggs to put in our incubators. I am very excited and nervous about it. I am worried that when the chicks hatch I will lose my kiddos. The next 20 or so days of school will be prepping them for that moment.

Luckily I inherited an incubator from the last teacher. She had two because she hatched ducks! I would love to do that at some point in my life. Right now I am good with my kiddos and chicks. Did I mention that I have a dog with anxiety at home? So I gave one of the incubators to another kindergarten teacher who did not have one. We were blessed to have our PTA purchase them a year or two ago.


So I created a life cycle of a chicken pack on Teachers Pay Teachers. This pack is to go along with your books about chicks. It contains 2 posters, can, have, are chart, KWL chart, observation book, sight word book, vocabulary cards, student worksheets, procedural writing, word work, labeling a chicken, and a Venn Diagram sheet.
