Good News Travels FAST!

The first few minutes of the morning were absolutely priceless! Genuine awe, amazement and excitement was written all over the faces of each and every student! As boys and girls entered, Mrs. Beliveau sat back, beamed, and captured the energy:

Here is why the students were so amazed:

Throughout the day, the three little ones napped while drying off in the incubators. We prepared a cozy box with wood shavings and a heat bulb, and ensured there was healthy food and water. 

After lunch, we noticed one little black chick was fluffy and ready to experience the world! A brave and very gentle student was chosen to make the move. 

Lifting with two hands, one on top and one under, ...

she carefully lifted the little one up ....

... and into it's new home! Ta da!

Turns out this chick isn't a "chick magnet", but rather a "kid magnet"! Somehow, it ended up hearing a story from an eager and very thoughtful reader:

This makes Mrs. Beliveau's heart smile!

It was a wonderful, memorable day and the students were so welcoming of all of the company that made their way into our classroom. They were very protective of the fragile new life, and were so keen to share their knowledge and answer questions. We definitely learned the meaning of "good news travels fast"!

The Beliveau family went in after supper and transferred the two other chicks, who had fluffed up sufficiently, into the cozy box. By an incredible stroke of luck, we arrived just in time to see our fourth chick hatch! God's work is amazing!

Tomorrow is sure to be special. Many thanks for your prayers as our journey continues!
