Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - 1
Using live birds, this one-time class teaches young learners the basics about chickens: where they come from, what parts they have, what they eat, what they can do. Class is highly interactive with lots of questions and answers. Students will also draw a chicken using simple geometric shapes.

Class is structured as follows:
Student introductions
Parts of a chicken with live bird
Brief slide show with chicken information
Guided, step-by-step drawing time

This class is seasonal, and will only run when live birds are available!

I have been raising birds for nearly a decade. The best time of year is spring, when the babies hatch! I am happy to share the joy of raising and keeping chickens with learners.
