After reading a book about a baby chick growing into a big chicken the class discussed how living things grow. We talked about how we used to be babies and now we are growing up; one day we will all be adults like our moms and dads. The life cycle is an important lesson for the children to grasp-- in order to help them visualize this concept we made an art project which depicts the life cycle of a chicken. First we talked about how the mommy chicken will sit on her egg to keep it safe and warm. Next, when the egg is ready it will hatch into a baby chicken. The children talked about which stage comes next and decided the baby will grow into a little chick before it is fully grown into a chicken.
