Duckling Day

Last Wednesday we took the ducklings out and observed their body structures. We noticed small changes in their growth this week (like the beginnings of tail feathers), but mostly noticed some parts we didn't see before: the spur or "back toe" on their heels, the pink skin under their wings, and their nostrils! These kindergarteners are becoming careful observers of nature! We made drawings of them which we labeled. We turned these drawings into a book and sent the book along with the ducklings on a field trip to our friends at Russell Elementary school for the day on Thursday. We missed them, but know that we will see them again when they return next week!
