Which came first...the chicken or the egg???

I hope everyone enjoyed the week off. I know I did. I have to tell you, last night I couldn't sleep because I was so excited to get back to my students. With only 40 days left of school, these are the days I really get to see all of the hard work we all put in, shine through. And today couldn't have been a better day! All of my STARs (students that are responsible) came back rejuvenated, a little more grown up (insert sad face here), and so ready to get to work. Their enthusiasm for reading, writing, and learning today reminded me what it is I love about teaching!

Well, with that said, I do need to apologize for getting this footage to you so late. I recorded so much of the wonderful Ms. P and her chick presentation with my fantastic Flip video, that I couldn't decide what to put on the blog. Though the students learned SO many new vocabulary words, all about different sized birds and their eggs, and the important parts of the egg, I knew nobody would really sit and watch an hour's worth of information about hens and roosters...and if I'm wrong, simply let me know and I will post the hour of video for you :) So, I just decided to show you a random 11 minutes that I thought would be the most entertaining to everyone.
Below Ms. P's presentation, be sure to check out the video of our chicks running around!
Again...I apologize for my video non-expertise...

Hmmmm...to get it to upload, I had to split them into smaller video segments...let's see if it works.

Well, my videos do not seem to want to upload tonight. I will have to try from my other computer later this week :/

Sorry about that but stay tuned...
