WVU Extension Agent John Murray has been working with West Taylor 3rd graders on a chick embryology program. This program focuses on the science of chick development within the egg, environmental requirements for hatching the eggs, and the many careers associated with chickens. For the past month, students have taken part in different activities like examining the contents of an egg, learning how to monitor an incubator, how to provide a safe habitat for both the eggs and chicks, as well as an engineering project to keep eggs safe. We are sure going to miss our fluffy friends, but we have enjoyed meeting them this past week. 🥚🐣🐥

2-22-22 on a Tuesday! West Taylor students participated in many 2-22-22 activities. Several teachers shot basketball hoops for 2 minutes. Students counted by 2's as baskets were made. The highest score was 68! After shooting hoops, students and staff had a 2-minute dance party. At 2:22 P.M., staff and students lined West Taylor's hallways and Commons and danced the Cupid Shuffle. Several classrooms also had learning activities built around the 2-22-22 theme.
