On Monday, when we got to class, Miss Riley said that she had a SURPRISE for us. And then she pointed to a big glass box that looked a bit like a FISH TANK. And that’s when we all CHEERED and Jayden King said that it was the

BEST DAY OF HIS LIFE because we all thought we were getting a CLASS FISH.

3

But that’s when Miss Riley said that it WASN’T a fish tank and that it was an INCUBATOR. We didn’t know what an INCUBATOR was so Miss Riley took us over to it and pointed and that’s when we saw that there were FOUR EGGS inside and she told us that they were CHICKEN EGGS and that the INCUBATOR kept the eggs nice and warm until the chicks HATCHED.

4

That’s when Jayden King said,

GASPED and

“We’re getting

BABY CHICKS!

”

5

And Miss Riley smiled and nodded and we all

CHEERED louder than when we thought it was FISH because CHICKS are even better than fish!

So we all

STARED at the EGGS because we couldn’t for one of them to hatch.

8

WAIT

But then Miss Riley made us all sit down because she said that the eggs weren’t going to hatch that very minute and that it could take

DAYS
