Mock Poultry CDE in agriscience today.
Station 1: further processed poultry (looking for defects in chicken tenders)
Station 2: parts identification
Station 3: egg interior grading (canceling eggs to see the air cell - or lack of yolk in an egg from evaporation…. Older eggs have a bigger air cells)
Station 4: egg exterior grading (what’s wrong/defected with the egg shell?)
Station 5: carcass grading
Alwyas a fun lab to get thinking about poultry science and real world jobs that are available! Who knew you could make sure chicken nuggets look pleasing?!
In reading, the 4th graders read the book “The Right Dog for the Job.” Students learned about a service dog named Ira and everything a service dog needs to know. We had KSDS Assistance Dogs, from Washington visit about their program. Students learned that KSDS provides trained guide, service, and facility dogs for people who need them or to help enhance their work. Thank you Brooke and Boaz for coming and teaching about these services.
