Our school is very lucky to have therapy goats and chickens on campus. Our Kindergarten class has recently taken on the task of the main egg collectors and distributors. This has led to opportunities for math, data collection and animal interactions as well as inquiry into which treats the animals like the best and questions about the life cycle of a chicken. Note, we do not have any roosters, therefore our eggs will not hatch.

| This is first time a chicken allowed me to pick her up and allowed the children to pet her! |

| After gathering we count the eggs and write the total on our calendar. We also note the number of each color of egg collected that day. |
 |
| We use the egg carton as a 12 frame to show the collected number a different way. |
