Description
A chicken farm unit for 1st and 2nd grade that pairs real science with fun practice: three nonfiction passages with questions, egg math and a sink or float experiment.
Students read, write, add and subtract with farm foods, then finish with a directed drawing, a big maze and an award.
No prep for most pages: just print and go. Gather a raw egg, water and salt for the sink or float experiment.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The passages are short and true, written so 1st and 2nd graders can read them with growing independence.
Math pages use the same farm foods, so word problems and arrays feel connected to what students just read.
Almost every page is black and white and print and go.
