IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

We are very excited in room 107 this week because we are taking care of the…CHICKENS!

We rotate through the classrooms week by week for chicken responsibilities here at the lab school. When it is your week to take care of the chickens, you get to feed them, give them water, collect their eggs, and clean out the coop at the end of the week.

This kids were very excited to get to go out and feed the chickens today. We went out during our free choice time. Since it had been a long weekend, we were able to collect four eggs. Most days we will collect 1-3 eggs. At the end of the week, we will get to decide what we want to do with the eggs: eat them, save them, give them to someone else?

Aaliyah, Jackson, and Geneva hold three of our chickens’ eggs.

The chickens provide a great opportunity to learn about animals, our food supply, responsibility, and the needs of a living thing, just to name a few. I look forward to the days we get to learn from Thelma, Louise, and Dotty this year!
