Kindergarten Class Hatchlings

An elementary school tradition here at the Bronxville School  is the hatching of duck and chicken eggs in the kindergarten classes.


The children learn about how these birds develop within the egg as they tend to their classrooms' incubators. Once the chicks/ducklings hatch, the students begin to learn about scientific observations, they verbally and pictorially describe what they see, as the baby fowl explore their surroundings.


Ms. Janissa Wiles' class welcomed me today as they began their observations!!

    Very cool! We had to babysit ducks for spring break when my daughter was in the 5th grade. It was very stressful. They kept flying out of the box. Jean Windels-8th grade teacher
