Mrs. Arnzen’s 3rd grade students took part in an egg-hatching project. Fertilized eggs were set in a glass tank and students watched each day as the eggs developed into chicks. The eggs were turned daily and the temperature in the tank was kept constant. The development cycle was part of a science project. Students adopted a chick in the process.

The weather couldn't have been more beautiful in Spalding on Wednesday as the 4th graders listened to stories, created memory beads, put up a teepee, and lunched at the park for the annual May field trip. There were a lot of hands on activities and the day was enjoyed by all - including quite a few chaperones!
