Hello Colt Families,
Bring on the warm weather!
Ducky Days!
"Duck Days" are here at CVMS! The 7th grade science classrooms have been incubating duck eggs since early April. Last week they hatched! Students will work with the ducklings daily to reinforce biology concepts such as cell division, reproduction, life cycles, natural selection, and genetics. This real-world, hands-on experience is valuable in students' social and emotional learning also as they become caregivers to the new life they watched grow and develop inside of the eggs. Ducklings in the classroom make science come alive!! A big shout out to Mrs. Whitaker and Mr. Caplan for supporting the project!
