Dickinson Hatchery

Update:

The chickens are hatching and moving over to the brooder! Check out our chicks all grown up below!

Original Post:

Students at Dickinson Elementary are celebrating the arrival of spring by watching chicks hatch!  Like other students in LCISD (check out Jane Long’s caterpillars), the students at Dickinson Elementary School are taking advantage of a webcam and some live video streaming to watch Mother Nature do her magic! 1st graders on campus are on pins and needles waiting for their chicks to hatch!

Thanks to a L.E.A.F. Grant written by first grade teacher Mrs. Pangelinan, the students at Dickinson, as well as anyone else in the world, can tune in to check on the progress of the chicks.

The L.E.A.F. Grant also supplied the teachers with a special camera that “candles” the eggs and records what you see. This little device lights up the egg to view what is happening on the inside! Check out how active this chick is!

Heart beating- 10 days

Movement- 10 days

Watch it LIVE!

Want to watch the progress?  Check it out below or directly from USTREAM! The yellow cylinder is the incubator rotating around the eggs keeping them warm. We expect the chicks to hatch Tuesday or Wednesday of next week!

Metamorphosis

Spring is in the air!  The birds are chirping. The fish are jumping. Students at Jane Long Elementary School are watching their caterpillars turn into butterflies, and they invite YOU to take a look as well!

That’s right! Thanks to 5th grade teacher, Debra Helbert and USTREAM, students can watch real-time footage of their Monarch caterpillars changing right before their very eyes! Whether they are at school, home, or anywhere else with an Internet connection, students can take a peek and see how their caterpillars are doing!

“I just wanted more students to be able to see the caterpillars, more often,” says Debra.

A webcam, tripod, and USTREAM later, students throughout the district, and indeed the world, can check out these amazing creatures.

See for yourself!
