21 Days Later + A Bit And . . .

At approximately 6:00 pm on May 11, 2012, the BES library became the proud ‘mother’ of its first baby chick named “NUGGET”.  See the images below.

Peep on the Move

In the short video clip, watch the peep moving around the inside of the egg.  Check out the pictures as well.  Can you see the eyes?  What about the beating heart?  Some say they can see the peep’s beak…… what can you see?

           

Egg Update

Stewart and I candled the eggs on Monday, April 23.  We discovered two of the eggs showed no change and no sign of growth.  We substituted two new eggs.  All the eggs were candled again on Thursday, April 26 and all are showing changes indicating growth.  Look carefully at the picture below.  You can see veins, a shadowy area (the chick or peep as it is known) and the clear air sac on the left.

I Promised! I Delivered!

After the huge success hatching butterflies last spring, today was the day to deliver on my promise of bringing another life form into our world.  Today ten eggs were placed in an incubator in the library.  Now, the long 21-day wait begins!

Grade 8 Diorama Project

Thank you to 8L and 8P for setting up their dioramas in the library.  Make sure you take time to read the information that goes with each.  It is fascinating!!!

SPRING BOOK FAIR IS HERE!

With the Spring Book Fair set-up today, all the furniture in the library was rearranged.  We also had last minute book exchanges for classrooms to tide them over until the Book Fair is over.

Look at how much BES students love to share the couch for reading!

Balgonie Community Painters

The Balgonie Community Painters meet regularly in our library to paint together and share their artistry with BES students.  Currently, they are involved with a creating plaques with Mrs. Lorence’s Grade 7 students.

Check out some of their incredible work!
