Meramec Valley R-III School District

Students at Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center had a special hands-on learning experience in Ms. Tonya’s class as they watched baby chicks hatch right in their classroom. From observing the eggs in the incubator to seeing the chicks arrive, students were engaged every step of the way! 🐣

They explored the empty shells, asked thoughtful questions, and learned about how living things grow and change. Students also practiced gentle care as they held the chicks, showing responsibility and kindness throughout the experience.

The excitement continued as classes across the building had the opportunity to meet the new chicks, spreading curiosity and joy among students.

Moments like these bring learning to life through discovery, care, and connection. 💜
