Hi y'all,
So my daughter wants to take our chicks to show and tell. We only have 2 and they will be a little over a week old. We are getting some more chicks in a week.
I told her I'd ask "adults on the internet"- that's you guys- if it's OK and talk to her teacher.
My plan was this- I would take the chicks to school at the very end of the day for her show and tell, I'd put a hot pack or hot water bottle in the brooder with them and take the whole brooder to school, with the lamp. No kids would be allowed to pick the chicks up. Each child would be allowed to pet the chicks with 1 finger- one kid at a time.
This might be too ambitious of a plan, and I'm wondering if I'd still stress the chicks out too much. I can't imagine going to the school would be too stressful if they are still in their habitat, but the noise and movement generated by 26 kindergarten kids might be overwhelming for them.
Should I say she can't do the chicks for show and tell? I want to be nice mommy, but there's a limit.
