We have eggs-citing news…6 chicks have hatched and one more is on the way. @CopperHillES

Chick number 2 hatched around 7:45 this morning. The kids are going to be so eggscited! @CopperHillES

Our first chick arrived at 5:05 tonight. @CopperHillES

Eggsciting news today…pip, pip hooray…a little chicken is on its way!

Having fun trying to pick up “bird food” with warbler and duck beaks. We learned that different types of beaks are better for different types of food.

Come back from spring break to find 5 bluebird eggs in our birdhouse in the outdoor learning center! @CopperHillES @MrsCooksPlace

Today we read various Pig the Pug books with a partner.

Mrs. Cook came in to answer some more of our bald eagle questions today. We had some extra visitors also. We learned why they keep the eggs warm. We also tried sitting like a bald eagle. @MrsCooksPlace @CopperHillES

Thank you Mrs. Cook for teaching my class yesterday! I love the special project that you did with them!🦅💚 @MrsCooksPlace @CopperHillES

Help us reach our goal of bringing in items for the food pantry!

Today we were scientists and we found some interesting things outside.

Tree swallow eggs in one birdhouse..should hatch next week. Bluebird nest number 2...should hatch around the 28th. Bummed that we won’t be here to see the babies. @CopperHillES

Hopefully there will be a duckling later today or tomorrow morning! @CopperHillES

@mrscusty @BarleySheafFRSD @FlemRarSchools Love this!

Another great day learning and growing at Camp Mason! @BarleySheafFRSD @FlemRarSchools

I checked the bluebird box today and all the baby bluebirds have left the nest!

I think the baby bluebirds are leaving us soon. I caught one peeking out of the birdhouse this morning. @CopperHillES @MrsCooksPlace

Yesterday was probably the last day that I could open the birdhouse to check on the baby bluebirds. They will be leaving the nest soon. Also, the tree swallows have been very busy in the other birdhouse. @CopperHillES @MrsCooksPlace

Today’s bluebird pictures. Love the close up of the beak. Also, the tree swallows have claimed their box and our busy building their nest. @CopperHillES @MrsCooksPlace

The bluebirds are growing so quickly! @CopperHillES @MrsCooksPlace

Check out the feathers growing on these baby bluebirds! @MrsCooksPlace @CopperHillES
