The hands-on science lesson of Mrs. Williams' 2nd grade class has hatched into 20 cute baby chicks! The students incubated the eggs and observed as one by one the chicks emerged from their shells. Many students and staff were able to visit the chicks last week before they left for their new homes and enjoyed the little yellow balls of fluff!
