Hey! Congratulations!
I wondered about that after I posted...wondered “I wonder if theg’nads have something like this at their extension!”
Here’s the email my friend sent me, maybe you could print it up and ask if they have something like it. Seems like they would, since there’s a lot of chicken farms in Mo and probably most of them go to Tyson...
February 7, 2008
Due to the overwhelming response from the home schooling community, we will
be offering a session of the Chick Embryo Project for homeschoolers only.
This is a 21 day Beginning of Life project which focuses on the hatching of
baby chicks. The incubators and eggs are provided for a $15 fee through the
OSU Extension/4-H office. The orientation meeting and equipment pick-up date
will be Wed. on May 14, 2008 at 3pm with equipment return dates of June
9th-June 13th at the Tulsa County OSU Extension office. Sue Schneider, a
member of Green Country H.E.R.O., will be my liaison for this project and
will be handling the registration.
Previously it was communicated that this educational opportunity was open to
individual families. That was a misunderstanding generated on our part by
not making it more clear on the intent of the program. It was our desire to
have your home school support group enlist a coordinator for the group for
the purpose of presenting it in a co-op atmosphere. Sue has explained that
most co-op events are held in churches, community centers or libraries which
would prevent the incubator from being set up in a permanent and stable
environment.
Therefore, we are asking the families that are able to do so, open their
homes to accommodate a few other families and be a facilitator of the Chick
Embryo Project. This could be accomplished on whatever time schedule would
best fit the host family’s schedule. The host teacher could, for example,
choose Tuesdays from 3pm-4:30pm as times for other families to drop by to
see the progress of the eggs/chicks. Or it may be decided that there will
be a 10 minute teaching time and a 10 minute observation time two days a
week at a specific time. There is a curriculum book provided from which
handouts could be generated to give to visiting families. The host family
is encouraged to consider what they’d feel comfortable doing in order to
make it possible for others to enjoy the program. Since many support groups
have members separated by great distances, we respectfully request host
families consider encouraging families from other support groups who live
close to your location, to visit as a matter of convenience.
If you are still interested in participating, please reply to Sue (she will
be mailing this from her home email) with your name, contact number (in case
we have questions and need to contact you directly) times you are willing to
open your home, nearest major cross street and the method you wish to have
other families contact you (e-address and/or phone.) Please type May 14th
Chicks in the subject line. If your family lives in a rural area and you
don’t think anyone will want to come to your location, please advise Sue.
We do not wish to exclude you. It is only our intention to include as many
of the 100+ families which responded to the previous communication as the
number of incubators available is limited to forty. We will fill the
openings on a first come (with $15 payment), first served basis. Sue will
e-mail you a form to submit with your payment.
Oh jen...that’s wonderful!!
Congrats...I’m so proud of you.
Yah know... back at my elementary school, when kids were “caught fighting” their policy was to make the kids put boxing gloves on and fight it out in the gym.
Swell.
So some bigger kid one day one day comes up behind me and punches me. I turned around and told him knock it off (or something to that effect). The vice-principal saw this and ignoring my protests, drags the two of us to the gym where thirty or so kids get to watch him beat the crap out of me.
Where do you live in Iowa? What town? I can’t remember.
We’re going to be in Council Bluffs Next Friday night.
If you have a rooster or two you could go into business.
Cedar Rapids... other side of the state. Too bad :(
Thanks!
Corin, I will point out that I’m now more educated than my husband. I wouldn’t have wanted to scare him off by getting all that edumacation before we got married...
I’m just amazed that we’ve known you since before you got your undergraduate degree.
Congratulations!
So when are you starting on the PhD?
Shoot.
Well, the next day we head to Souix Falls, then Rapid City, then Mt. Rushmore (Matthew’s choir is giving a concert in the amphitheater there.) Then on to Worland Wyoming, then to Yellowstone, then down to Colby Kansas, then home.
Congratulations!!! You now have an MS to go along with your MRS. degree. ;o)
Heh. I doubt I’ll go for that :)
Congrats!
I googled to find an appropriate image to give my congratulations more flair, and I did not find one. I did however, find this odd combination:
Now there's a greeting card you can't give to just anyone. :~)
Heh, I bet that’s for English and Wymyn’s Studies people.
Too bad. Almost 4 hour drive from here each way :P
Heh... I couldn’t imagine who it might be for. But the combination of messages amused me. :~)
Guess it beats a reference to “Would you like fries with that?”....
But you’re right. I can’t imagine they’d be mass printing that card. ;-)
But what do I know? I hain’t got no degree. :-\
