I send a morning greeting/check in email to each student and will give updates and pictures as we go along. I can even get a little bit of genetics in there since I know mostly which eggs came from which hens and we only have a few roosters. I've asked each one to guess how many of the 20 eggs will hatch. I can do video chat later once the chicks come or maybe for candling. When we are back to school I will bring the chicks to visit. I think all the little things like this that teachers, paras and other school employees are doing will help the kids stay connected to their school community, to know they are still part of a community not just being sent work to do at home
