This week we moved on to jobs that people do and the tools they need in order to do those jobs. We focused on a different career each day: firefighters, police officers, postal workers, and chefs! (only 4 because Tuesday they had a substitute).

We are back to narrative writing and the kids loved making class stories about each job...but we got on a kick of bad things happening to our poor career people. The mailman lost all the mail, then his truck got a flat tire, then the tow truck had to come. The chef burnt himself, someone stole the recipe, and then he slipped on water he spilled. I requested for happily ever afters to end our stories, but that's not as much fun! ;)

On Wednesday, the incubator was finally to 99.5*F and each kiddo got to pick out an egg to place into the incubator!

It takes 21 days for them to hatch, so they should arrive April 27th! Fingers crossed for a good hatch! So far our little guys have internal organs and their vertebrae starting to form! We read about what's going on in the egg each morning after calendar.
