Spring Chickens

Last Tuesday the seventh grade class received one dozen chicken eggs to incubate for one week before they hatched. The class incubated and turned the eggs for the rest of the week.

When they returned on Monday four live healthy chicks were waiting for them. One more hatched on Monday. On Tuesday there were three more chicks and on Wednesday one more chick had hatched.

There were three eggs that didn’t hatch. Thursday afternoon the seventh grade held a funeral and burial for the three unborn chicks to emphasize the point that all life matters.
