Are chickens and ducks the only animals that lay eggs?

Today, we wondered if chickens and ducks were the only kind of animals to lay eggs. We read Chickens Aren't The Only Ones by Ruth Heller. While reading the book, we realized there were a LOT of other animals that lay eggs! We read about insects, fish, birds and even dinosaurs! We were so interested in the animals! We learned a really big word, oviparous! Oviparous means that the animals do not have live babies, they lay eggs. We also learned that animals that have babies that are alive are mammals!

Here is some of what we wrote in our journals today:














We are having so much fun and learning so much! Please keep following us for more that we're going to be learning about ducks and another special creature we will have in our classroom soon!
