Kids and Chickens

Current Count: 55 eggs

So this one is about chickens, but it's also about kids. Several of our students know that I took home chickens from the batch hatched by second grade last year. One of our first grade teachers also mentioned this, and apparently it sparked some deep thought about chickens on the part of one 6-year old boy. Check it out:For those in need of translation, this say, "Sometimes chickens be alive." Notice the four legs and the smiling beak. The image in the upper left hand corner is a little bit of foreshadowing because this is what he wrote on the next page of his journal.

The translation for this one is, "Sometimes chickens be dead and i like chickens!" Notice how all four of the chicken legs have now converted to drumsticks and there is a smiling stick person on the right with what appear to be a drumstick in the right hand and a chicken nugget in the left. Mmm, mmm, good!
