🐣 Exciting News from 3rd Grade! 🐣
Our chick-hatching project is in full swing! Today, our eggs were checked for development using a process called candling — a bright light helps us peek inside the shell to see how our chicks are growing.
✨ During the first week, we can see tiny blood vessels forming.
🐥 By the second week, we might even see movement as the chicks grow.
⏳ By the last few days, the eggs will look almost completely dark because our chicks are almost ready to hatch!
We can’t wait to welcome our fluffy new friends soon! Stay tuned for updates from our 3rd grade “hatch room”! 💛🐔 #STEMLearning #3rdGradeScience #FutureFarmers #ChickHatching

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week: October 20–24, 2025

Thanks to sponsorship from Magnet, Clinton Primary fourth-grade students recently enjoyed a fun and educational field trip to the Little Rock Zoo. The trip was led by Tristan McMahan and Christopher Mannis and offered students a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.
Throughout the day, students explored musical rhythm patterns, sound, and instruments, tying in the music curriculum in a hands-on way. In addition, art concepts such as texture, color, and form were observed and discussed, helping students make meaningful connections between art and nature.
The field trip also supported literacy skills, as students engaged with text, stories, comprehension, and vocabulary inspired by their zoo experiences.
It was truly a great day of learning and exploration for Clinton Primary students!
