The kids have been working very hard and are looking forward to us all coming out to support their efforts!! An “Eggs-citing” Week in EC!!     The Early Childhood students have been learning a lot about chickens and the incubation & hatching process of chicks. Last month we began incubating about 24 eggs. The children have watched the eggs develop & were able to see moving embryos inside the eggs when we candled them. On Tuesday morning we were all excited to hear the baby chicks chirping from inside their eggs! Wednesday we arrived to see that 7 of our eggs had hatched during the night, and we were able to watch several more emerge from their shells before our eyes. We now have 14 baby chicks growing in our classroom! It has been a captivating experience for all of us!

Supplies that are urgently needed include: soccer equipment for youth of all ages (used and new cleats, shin guards, goalie gloves, jerseys and shorts, and new soccer balls - deflated); art supplies (glue sticks, construction paper, colorful tissue paper, paper for finger painting, child-safe scissors, markers, crayons); and supplies for a children's library (Play Doh, children's puzzles). The donated items will be hand-carried to Richmond in July by members of local community groups working to meet critical needs in Richmond focused on several key areas: nutrition, health, sanitation, employment and education.
