<p>JEROME A. POLLOS/Press Quinton Duce, left, has a laugh as he and his classmates Justice Simone, from right, Caleb Lindsay, Maddy Quigley and Kylie Stone read the book "From Egg to Chicken" to a chick Tuesday which was born in their Skyway Elementary classroom last week. Tracy Obermayer, an advanced learning teacher at the school, organized a EXCEL Foundation funded project to have eggs in an incubator stored in her classroom as her students read books about children living on a farm. She also placed a web camera over the incubator so visitors to her class website could observe the project over the internet. The chickens began to hatch on Thursday and a total of 15 chicks are taking up residence in a brood box inside the classroom.</p>
