Ending First Grade with Hatching Chicks

One of my first-grader's favorite memories from this year was the hatching of chicks. Last week, after their first grade show, I snapped some pix of the chick-a-dees. Each class got to vote on the names for the chicks. Jake's class came up with Fluffy and Cocoa; clearly this was the week that most of the boys were out with the flu. Jake came up with the name Tony Baloney. I think that rocks way harder!

Chicks come in many colors and fuzzies.


Reading the newspapers - after all, they do live at Horace Mann.
