Our students have been hovering over the incubator with Mrs. Steadman all week, and the wait is finally over! We have officially welcomed our newest (and fluffiest) classmates to the school.

Beyond the cuteness overload, our students are getting a front-row seat to the life cycle of a chicken, observing firsthand how a little bit of warmth and a lot of patience leads to new life.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Steadman for turning the library into a living laboratory!
