🐣 Exciting things are happening at Riverbend! Our students in Mr. Covert's Exploring Agriculture class have been hatching and observing baby chicks in class. Students have watched the entire process from egg to chick. Students are currently making real-time observations regarding weight, height, and color on a daily basis. This hands-on experience has given them the chance to learn about life cycles, responsibility, and the wonders of science in a very real way. The joy and curiosity on their faces as they watch the chicks grow is priceless! 🌱✨
