Tuttle Elementary first grade students got a firsthand lesson on how to care for and hatch chickens, as the fruits of their labor literally came to life on “Chick Day” at the school.
The Yaphank Educational Center gifted eight baby chicks to the first grade students. They were placed in an incubator inside the classroom, which was donated by the school PTO. Once the baby chicks hatched, the school celebrated with “Chick Day” for all to see.
A lesson was then given to students on the chicken’s life cycle.
