Join us Friday, November 18 at 8:45am in the Upper Yard adjacent to the Edible Garden for a ribbon-cutting ceremony during which we unveil our student-designed chicken habitat.
During the 2021-2022 school year, under the guidance of STEAM Studio teachers Francesca Forcucci and Robert Apodaca, second- and third-grade students studied human habitats, animal habitats, chicken habitats, and chickens. Next, they brainstormed the ingredients of an optimal chicken habitat, met with an architect, designed a rendering, built scale models, measured land and made a list of materials.
Then they, their parents, and the STEAM Team (mostly their parents and the STEAM Team) built it!
Now, it's ready for hens Kevin, Rose, Seline, Potato and Chickpea (listed in apparent pecking order) and any new hens we may add to the happy, well-housed flock!
