Looks like we have progress!

I started to candle our eggs the other day to check for progress.  I still have a few more that I need to check, but so far I think I am seeing some good progress with some of the eggs.  In quite a few, I can the the network of blood vessels very clearly, as well as what I think is the embryo!  I candled a few of the eggs with the students yesterday and they were pretty excited.  Here is a picture of one I looked at today:

You can't really see the veins in this picture, but I believe that the dark spot toward the bottom is the embryo (hopefully I'm right!).

We are also still waited for our butterflies.  We transferred them to the butterfly house, so each day we continue to check on them to see if they have emerged yet.

 
 In other news, we made these great shaving cream marble Earth projects last week to hang up in the hallway.  It was the perfect display for Earth Day yesterday!

And this week we are studying plants, so we currently have 4 (soon to be 5) different plant projects going on in our classroom right now.  So many exciting things for the kids to check on first thing each day when they come into the classroom!  Hopefully all these projects will have great success!
