Jeanie Dennis’ Our Lady of the Valley kindergarten class recently watched eight baby chicks hatch in her classroom as part of a science and spiritual lesson.
Students discussed the empty egg shell, comparing it to Jesus’ tomb, and talked about the hatching of the baby chicks as Jesus and the resurrection. The students also learned about relying on their faith when two chickens died and about the importance of compassion when a chick with leg problems survived.
The hatching of the chicks is an annual event in Dennis’ class.
