Today is National Egg Day! Scholars at our Flightline campus led the "Chicken or the Egg" project this past school year. All eight chickens received names during this process, and the scholars bonded with them on many different levels. Science Teacher Mrs. Herrin said, "It was quite evident there was a healthy impact socially and emotionally." Scholars showed compassion and critical thinking that occurred as they learned how to be responsible for their flock. It was a natural progression through exploration and experience that the middle school-aged scholars became curious, knowledgeable, and problem solvers. A small group of scholars calculated one 40 lb bag of feed lasts approximately 18 days and costs approximately $27. They learned how to budget and create small business plans through the project. #NationalEggDay #Agriculture #ArkansasLighthouse
