First graders at Setauket Elementary School learned about the life cycle of chicks right from their classrooms. Students made observations throughout the process. They held lights up to the egg to help understand the growth and development process. The first graders patiently counted down to hatch day when they would meet their classroom chicks for the first time. Several classes created chick hats and art projects to celebrate.

Once the chicks hatched, students were eager to interact with them before they returned to the farm in Yaphank. The hands-on experience provided students with an engaging way to learn about life science.
